Venkatesh Journal on Structural Engineering 2320 - 2343 4 1 27 31 Standard Consistency, Initial Setting Time, Final Setting Time, Compressive Strength Of Cement Mortar, Microfine As the production of cement increases, its adverse impact on the environment also increases. With cement being the second most consumed substance after water, the need to reduce its production is the need of the hour. Replacement of cement by supplementary cementitious materials results in less usage of cement. In this study, cement is partially replaced with reactive microfine, namely Alccofine and the effect of this replacement on the basic properties like standard consistency, initial setting time, final setting time and compressive strength of cement mortar were analyzed. Addition of Alccofine upto 20% has resulted in increase of compressive strength of the mortar cubes, with consistency and setting time values being within the specified limits.
