This paper presents study the effect of performance of HPC using mineral admixture i.e. fly ash and GGBS with M-60 grade of IS cube specimen .We partially replaced Portland cement by weight of binder. Fly ash and GGBS replacement varies from 10% to 30%. We used Conplast SP430-Sulphonated Naphthalene Polymers as a superplasticizer for better workability for high performance concrete. Dosage for superplasticizers is same for all mix proportions. Also, we have replaced fine aggregate in different proportions with foundry sand. We have investigated compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength for all different cases. The HPC mix, grade M60concrete is designed as per Indian standards “Guide for selecting proportions for high strength concrete with Pozzolana Portland cement and other cementitious materials”.

Keywords- high performance concrete, mineral admixtures, superplasticizers, foundry sand etc.
