This study is to be suggest the optimal mat foundation mixing design of high strength concrete by using fly ash and retarding admixture. This study applied retarding admixture to high strength concrete over 40MPa, and tested the mechanical properties of concrete according to binder content(385∼415kg/㎥), fly ash substitution rate(0~25%), and adding rate of retarding admixture(0~1.2%) As a results, For the concrete to be applied to lower part of mat foundation, it is suitable to substitute FA 25% with binder contents 385kg/㎥ and to apply the mixing with adding retarding admixture 1% in order to repress hydration heat and to cast concrete at once through congelation delay. As a result of experiments of adiabatic temperature rising, coefficients of adiabatic temperature rising K and α were 40.68 and 1.08 for retarding-type concrete and 42.8 and 1.13 for standard concrete, respectively, under the condition of initial concrete temperature about 19℃. In the identical temperature condition, differences of adiabatic temperature rising speed according to use of retarding admixture were not different, and maximum value of adiabatic temperature rising of retarding-type concrete was lower than standard concrete.
