Abstract – In order to evaluate the increased effects of temperature on Concrete, this study along with comparison with normal cured concrete has been made. The silica fume was replaced with the cement and the dosage which gave the maximum strength was used for further addition of silica sand and steel fibers. The steam curing can be used as a effective tool where high early strength is required like road construction etc. In this literature the compressive strength at the age of 3,7 and 28 days was determined and was further compared with normal cured concrete and also split tensile test was also carried out to see the behaviour of concrete cylinder to the tensile effect. All the study was done for M30 grade concrete and for proper mixing of silica fume with cement super plasticiser was used and the water cement ratio was kept to be 0.45. The results obtained through the research work are thus presented in this paper.
