This paper deals with the analysis of microstructural properties of ternary blended high strength concrete
subjected to sustained elevated temperature. The objective of this paper is to study the residual strength of
various steel fiber reinforced ternary blended (ALCCOFINE,METAKAOLINE,SILICA FUME) high strength
concrete with optimum percentage of steel fibers when subjected to sustained elevated temperatures like
200°C,400°C,600°C,800°C and 1000°C,To find the near surface characteristics such as water absorption and
soroptivity.To study the microstructural properties of ternary blended steel fibre reinforced high strength
concrete subjected to sustained elevated temperatures through
1. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM)
2. X-ray Diffraction (XRD).
3. Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy
