Abstract : Cement production is causing atmospheric pollution in many ways. Efforts to reduce the consumption of cement by using mineral admixtures as partial replacement are quite significant and desirable in this regard. In the present paper, high strength concrete mix M70 is taken as basic reference mix. Triple blending is carried out by using fly ash and condensed silica fume (CSF) at various percentages as replacement to ordinary portland cement (OPC). Fibers are added to enhance the strength properties further. Specimens were cast and tested for their 28 day compressive and flexural strengths. Based on the results conclusions are drawn on optimum fibrous triple blended cement concrete mixes which possess the required strength besides many other beneficial properties including economy.
