Also, the production of cement involves emission of large amounts of carbon-dioxide gas into the atmosphere, a major contributor for green house effect and global warming, hence it is inevitable either to search for another material or partially replace it by some other material. The objective of this study was </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-fareast-font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;">to study the properties of Alccofine 1203 used for High performance concrete, to design the High Strength Concrete of M-80 with Alccofine 1203, to study the effect of Alccofine 1203 used in concrete to reduce water demand and providing high strength concrete and to determine the workability of High Performance concrete. </span><span lang="EN-IN" style="font-size:10.0pt;&#10; line-height:115%">The replacement of 15 % of cement with Alccofine 1203 shows slightly decline in the compresses power of the cubes for seven days and twenty eight days testing but the workability of concrete goes on rising side when compared with the results of concrete mix prepared with 10% replacement of cement with Alccofine 1203. Concrete mixed with Alccofine 1203 is eco-friendly, non-hazardous as it easily gets dispersed in concrete mix.</span><b><span style="font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;mso-fareast-font-family:Calii;&#10; mso-fareast-theme-font:minor-latin;color:#08083A;mso-ansi-language:EN-US;&#10; mso-fareast-language:EN-US"><o:p></o:p></span></b></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table>
