The term high-strength concrete (HSC) is generally used for concrete with compressive strength higher than 41 MPa. ACI Committee had defined High Strength Concrete (HSC) is the concrete that can attain specified compressive strength for design of at least 41 MPa, or more. With the development of high grade cement and availability of proper mineral admixtures and chemical admixtures, it has become quite common to adopt concrete with compressive strength of 60 MPa and above. Development of high strength concrete has made it possible to build taller and long span structures. But it has been proved that the comparatively higher compressive strength of High Strength Concrete is an attractive profit from engineering characteristics and economic point of view whereas, the strength behaves against the ductility of concrete by welcoming brittleness pronouncedly. To improve the ductility of High Strength Concrete, a strategy is to introduce steel in High Strength Concrete which results in development of a material with reasonable tensile strength and greater toughness which prevents the initiation and propagation of cracks. In this study, an attempt has been made to study the Mechanical Properties of Fiber Reinforced High Strength Concrete using the steel fibers and mineral admixture materials like Silica Fume and Metakaoline. For this purpose along with a Control Mix, 15 sets were prepared to study the compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength. Each set comprises of 3 cubes, 2 cylinders and 2 prisms. Steel Fibers are used in addition to mineral admixtures such as Metakaoline, Silica Fume. 28-days Compressive test, Tensile Strength and Flexural Strength tests were performed in the hardened state.
