This research aims to use calcium carbide residue and fly ash mixture as a binder instead of using Portland cement in order to produce high workability concrete. The binder used a ratio of 30:70 by weight for ground calcium carbide residue and both original and ground fly ash, CR-OF and CR-FA, respectively. In addition, Portland cement Type I (OPC) was used as strength accelerator at a ratio of 10 percent by weight of the binder, CRFA( 10). The slump flow of all fresh concrete mixtures was determined, and was maintained between 600 to 800 mm. Furthermore, the slump loss of concrete was also determined. The cylindrical concrete specimens, 100 mm in diameter and 200 mm in height, were cast and no required vibration for placing and compaction. The compressive strengths of the concrete were tested at the ages of 3, 7, 28, 60 and 90 days. The results indicated that the calcium carbide residual and fly ash mixture could be used as a binder to produce high workability concrete with slump flow between 740 to 760 mm. In addition, CR-OF, CR-FA, and CR-FA(10) concretes had slump flow higher, and had slump loss lower than that of normal concrete which using Portland cement. The CR-OF and CR-FA concretes gave the compressive strengths of 153 and 225 ksc at 90 days although the binder without using Portland cement, respectively. The use of high fineness of fly ash and OPC strength accelerator can enhance compressive strength gain for calcium carbide residue-fly ash concrete. Although the concrete no required vibration for placing and compaction, the CR-FA(10) concrete had compressive strengths of 210 and 252 ksc at 28 and 90 days, respectively.
