Introduction
Concrete, a composite consisting of aggregates enclosed in a matrix of cement
paste including possible pozzolans, has two major components cement paste and
aggregates.
The strength of concrete depends upon the strength of these components, their
deformation properties, and the adhesion between the paste and aggregate surface.
With most natural aggregates, it is possible to make concretes up to 120 MP
compressive strength by improving the strength of the cement paste, which can be
controlled through the choice of water-content ratio and type and dosage of
admixtures.
However, with the recent advancement in concrete technology and the
availability of various types of mineral and chemical admixtures, and special super
plasticizer, concrete with a compressive strength of up to 100 MPa can now be
produced commercially with an acceptable level of variability using ordinary
aggregates.
The use of high strength concrete is increased now days. High strength concrete
differ from normal strength concrete in that it variably contains a high rang water
reducer (or super plasticizer), while the normal strength concrete contains it rarely.
All other basic ingredients may be the same, namely Portland cement, aggregate
water and admixture. As some other ingredients are concerned such as retarders, fly
ash, blast furnace slag and silica fume and they may or may not be presented in either
type of concrete.
The design of concrete mixtures involves the determination of the most
economical and practical combination of concrete ingredients to achieve concrete
that is workable in its plastic state and will develop the required qualities when
hardened.
The high compressive strength can be advantageously used in compression
members like columns and piles. Higher compressive strength of concrete results in
reduction column size and increases available floor space. HSC can also be effectively
used in structures such as domes, folded plates, shells and arches where large inplane compressive stresses exist.
The relatively higher compressive strength per unit volume, per unit weight
will also reduce the overall dead load on foundation of a structure with HSC. Also, the
inherent techniques of producing HSC generate a dense microstructure making
ingress of deleterious chemicals from the environment into the concrete core difficult,
thus enhancing the long-term durability and performance of the structure.

Conclusion:
By use of cementing material one can improve the strength of
concrete, but Replacement of cement by cementing material should be
limited because replacing large amount of cement will not give desire
result.
