| Summary: | One of the problems faced in the manufacture of high-strength concrete is the difficult workability, and the rising price of OPC and PCC cement. To overcome these problems, a self-compacting system is needed in concrete to make the workability easier to work with and the use of other types of cement besides OPC and PCC, such as the latest product HC, to reduce the cost of making high-strength concrete. The objective of this study was to compare the use of OPC, PCC and HC cement types in high strength concrete with self-compacting system, so as to overcome the high-quality problem more effectively. The manufacture and testing of test specimens were carried out at the PT Pionir Beton Industri Laboratory with the results of testing the compressive strength of OPC type cement at 955.93 kg/cm2, the compressive strength of PCC cement concrete at 866.22 kg/cm2, and the compressive strength of HC cement concrete at 885.83 kg/cm2. It can be concluded that the use of OPC cement in concrete mixes will produce the strongest concrete among the other two types of cement.
