Abstract:

Concrete plays an indispensable part during construction. Presently, while planning a design, the most significant is the strength and durability of concrete. An experimental investigation has been taken up to concentrate on the strength and toughness of properties of concrete with and without admixtures. The experimental outcomes show that the concrete containing mineral admixtures has better protection from resistance to chemical attack and improves durability execution. Unusual construction needs various properties that must be fulfilled by concrete for high performance. Mineral admixtures, for example, fly ash and silica fume, are in effect widely utilized in concrete for reasons of strength, durability, and economy.

Keywords:

Acid Attack, Chemical Attack, Fly Ash, Durability, Silica Fume.
