Abstract: High performance concrete should have at least one property like high strength, high durability, Self compaction, low permeability to water. Conventional concrete is designed on the basis of compressive strength does not meet any functional requirements since it is deficit in aggressive environmental conditions, time of construction, energy absorption capacity. So, there is a need to design high performance concrete which is far superior to conventional concrete. High performance concrete has received increased attention in the development of infrastructures, hydraulic structures, bridges, highways, etc. This study is based on influence of two mineral admixtures and chemical admixtures like silica fume and fly ash, on the properties of super plasticized high performance concrete. The mineral admixtures generally improve strength and durability characteristics. Silica fume is slightly more effective than the fly ash in improving durability properties. In high performance concrete that have a water/binder ratio between 0.20 and 0.35 are usually more durable than the ordinary concrete. This project deals with the study on strength of high performance concrete.
