Abstract The use of concrete is increasing day to day very rapidly. The lesser the cross-section higher will be the grade of concrete. High-grade concrete is generally used in the nuclear power plant or precast prestressed concrete. The higher the cement content high will be the occurrence of the defect due to heat of hydration in the concrete. This paper deals with the experimental study of high-strength concrete which can be prepared by using the cement content less than the required quantity by using any other supplementary material. Like Alccofine and bagasse ash. Alccofine is costlier than cement which increases the cost of concrete to adjust that cost of concrete the bagasse ash is been used in the place of fine aggregate.

This article describes an experimental program developed to study the influence of longitudinal prestress on the behaviour of high-strength concrete hollow beams under pure torsion. The pre-cracking, the post-cracking and the ultimate behaviour are analysed. Three tests were carried out on large hollow high-strength concrete beams with similar concrete strength. The variable studied was the level of longitudinal uniform prestress. Some important conclusions on different aspects of the beams’ behaviour are presented. These conclusions, considered important for the design of box bridges, include the influence of the level of prestress in the cracking and ultimate behaviour.
