High strength concrete has become a design requirement in recent years due to increase in number of infrastructure projects. This paper presents the effect of incorporating Ultra Fine Slag (UFS) and steel fibre to obtain high strength concrete. To achieve target strength of about 80 MPa, it is proposed to the replacement of cement of 10%, 20% and 30% with UFS and incorporating 0.5% and 1.0% fibre in concrete. An experimental investigation is carried out to find the mechanical properties of the concrete. From the test results, it was observed that a compressive strength of 95 MPa was achieved at 30% replacement of cement with UFS and 1.0% fibre content. In addition, there was a significant improvement in split tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete. This study demonstrates that a high strength concrete can be obtained from partial replacement of cement with UFS and addition of steel fibre.
