Abstract : This report investigates the impact of reducing cement proportion in concrete by adding varying percentage of silica fume and glass fibre. The aim is to evaluate the compressive strength of modified concrete mix with varying percentage. The experiment involved varying levels of cement replacement with silica fume and the addition of glass fibre to determine the optimal combination for enhancing concrete performance. Testing methodologies included compressive strength tests of concrete cube. The results provide insights into the feasibility and effectiveness of utilizing silica fume and glass fibre to improve the strength characteristics of concrete while reducing cement content, contributing to sustainable and durable construction practices.

Keywords : M20 Grade Concrete, Silica Fume, Glass Fibre, Cement Reduction, Compressive Strength.
