<title>ABSTRACT</title>
<p>Mineral admixtures are often mixed in concrete as an alternative cementitious material.
The use of powder materials indirectly contributes to mitigation of environmental
impact caused from Portland cement production which is a major source of CO<sub>2</sub>
emission. Furthermore, some of powder can improve properties of fresh and hardened
concretes. A huge number of reports examining effects of admixture have been
published in the world. However, it is not easy to compare the effect of admixture
under a certain test condition. The present study aims to examining strength properties
of concrete incorporating various admixtures. All admixtures tested herein were mixed
in concrete as an alternative cementitious material, and the cement replacement ratios
were in the range of 0.2 to 0.6. The tested powder materials are limestone powder, fly-
ash, blast furnace slag powder, silica-fume, and inorganic admixture which was
recently developed to increase chloride resistance. The focus of the study is to quantify
the effect of these admixture on concrete strength. The paper reports compressive, split
tensile and flexural strengths of these concretes, and discusses the effect of powder
materials.</p>
