Concrete with various variants is a basic requirement in building a building. The concrete mixture is diverse depending on the planning made beforehand. The cement mixture is usually in the form of a mixture of artificial stone, cement, water and fine aggregates and coarse aggregates. Aggregates (fine aggregates and coarse aggregates) function as fillers in concrete mixtures. (Subakti, A., 1994). However, in building construction, additives are often added, but there is still a sense of uncertainty at the time of dismantling the mold and the reference before the concrete reaches sufficient strength to carry its own weight and the carrying loads acting on it. To overcome the time of carrying out work related to concrete, it is necessary to find an alternative solution, for example by looking for alternative ingredients of concrete mixture on the basis of consideration without reducing the quality of the concrete. From the results of previous studies it was stated that due to the partial replacement of cement with Fly Ash, the strength of the pressure and tensile strength of the concrete had increased (Budhi Saputro, A., 2008). Based on the description above, the author seeks to examine how the compressive strength of concrete characteristics that occur by adding additives Addition H.E in the concrete mixture and is there any additive Additon H.E effect on the increase in the compressive strength characteristic of the concrete. From the results of the study, it was found that the compressive strength of the concrete with the addition of additives HE was that after the compressive strength test of the concrete cube was carried out and the analysis of concrete compressive strength of 10 specimens, in each experiment a cube specimen was made with the addition of additons. HE with a dose of 80 cc, 120 cc, and 200 cc can accelerate and increase the compressive strength of concrete characteristics.

As a part of a large research program aiming at the cementitious materials containing recycled materials at Central Queensland University – Australia, the current paper presents the preliminary results of a study on the effects of fly ash, which is used to replace cement in concrete, on the concrete compressive strength. For this purpose, systematic experiments have been carried out to investigate the influences of fly ash ratio and age. The compressive strength of concrete specimens with replacement ratios of 15%, 30% and 45%, and aged 7 and 28 days are measured and are compared with those of the concrete specimens without fly ash at the same ages. The results demonstrate that the strength of fly ash containing concrete improves more slowly but more strongly with aging, than their fly ash free counterparts, and an optimum fly ash replacement ratio exists where the maximum compressive strength of fly ash containing concrete can be achieved, and the maximum strength for the specimens aged 28 days and above is higher that of fly ash free concrete. Furthermore, the observation strength behaviours are analysed and discussed in terms of the influences of fly ash on interface reactions and interface bonding strength.

In construction world concrete plays a vital role, around 60% of structure consists of Concrete. However, the production of Portland cement, an essential constituent of concrete, leads to the release of significant amounts of CO2, depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation. This paper investigates the compressive strength of concrete by replacing cement with GGBS and silica fume effect of glass fibers on performance of concrete is studied. In this present work a humble attempt had been made to evaluate and compare the compressive strengths of GGBS blended concrete cubes with controlled concrete cubes cured under sea water for 28 days. By conducting the tests on the cubes, conclusions were drawn after plotting and analyzing the results. Compressive strength test is conducted on the samples after 28 days. The optimum value is obtained at 15% replacement with GGBS and 5% with Silica fume. In this study again we trailed addition with Glass fibers with the percentage of 0.5%,1.0%,1.5%, compressive strength have been studied. Finally at 1.0% addition we get maximum strength compared to controlled mix.

This research assessed the effect of Nigerian rice husk ash (RHA) and calcium chloride (CaCl2) as partial replacement of cement in concrete grade 20. Rice husk ash (RHA) is obtained by combustion of rice husk in a controlled temperature. The replacement of OPC with rice husk ash (RHA) were 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. 1% of Calcium Chloride was blended with OPC/RHA in all the test specimens except from control mix. Concrete cubes of sizes 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were cast and cured in water for 7, 14 and 28 days respectively. Slump test was conducted on fresh concrete while density test and compressive strength test were conducted on hardened concrete. The slump results revealed that the concrete becomes less workable (stiff) as percentage increases. The compressive strength result at 28 days revealed that 5%RHA/1%CaCl2 have the highest strength of 26.82N/mm2 while 20%RHA/1%CaCl2 have the lowest strength (21.48N/mm2). Integration of 5%RHA/1%CaCl2 and 10%RHA/1%CaCl2 as cement replacement will produce a concrete of higher compressive strength compared to conventional concrete in grade 20 concrete.
