Cement is the most abundantly used ingredient in the production of concrete due to which its production and use has increased manifold. To reduce the carbon footprint left by the cement production, fly ash is used as cement replacement in concrete. Past research studies suggest that the fly ash replacement can be upto 40% beyond which there will be drastic reduction of strength. In the present study, high strength concrete mix of 70 grade is developed with high volume fly ash of 70% as cement replacement. Silica fume of 10% and hydraulic lime of 30% are used as additives in the development of M70 grade high-strength high-volume fly ash concrete. In the present paper, three types of fly ashes are considered for the study of which one which is ultrafine is chosen based on the pozzolanic index and strength activity index. Excess lime needed for various percentage of fly ashes is evaluated based on the empirical equationsgiven by the Dunstan Jr andZayed

Civil engineering is a professional engineering discipline that deals with the designing and construction. In construction one of the main resource is concrete in the world. The concrete is day-to-day have many changes like strength, durability, shrinkage. This project deals with the self-compaction concrete with use of fibre reinforcement. The self-compacting in concrete is achieved by adding super plasticizers and glass fibres are used as reinforcement. The influence of including fly ash on the properties of self-compacting concrete is investigated. Fly ash is introduced by 50% in the total weight of cement. The water to binder ratio was maintained at 0.38%. Properties included workability, compressive strength, split tensile test, modulus of elasticity and shrinkage. The results indicate the high volume FA can be used in SCC to produce the high strength and low shrinkage. Increasing the admixture content beyond the certain level leads to a reduction in strength and increasing in absorption. Making concrete structure without compaction has been done in the past. Like placement of concrete under water by the use of term without compaction. Inaccessible areas were concrete using such a techniques. The production of such mixes use expensive admixtures ad large amount of cement but such type of concrete is low strength. To eliminate such issues lead to the development of self-compacting concrete (SCC). Usage of fibres makes the mixing of concrete complex. Self-compacting concrete (SCC) is an innovative concrete that does not require vibration for placing and compaction.
