Abstract Recently, as carbon neutrality has been important factor in the construction industry, many studies have been conducted on the high-volumefly ash concrete. High volume fly ash concrete(HVFC) is usually made by replacing more than 50% of cement with fly ash. However, HVFC has adisadvantage of low compressive strength in early age. To overcome this shortcoming of HVFC, improve this, interest in techonolgy using nanomaterialsis increasing. Nano silica is expected to improve the early age strength of HVFC as a pozzolanic material. This study investigated the effect of nanosilica on the early hydration reaction and microstructure of HVFC. The early hydration reaction of HFVC was analyzed through setting time, isothermalcalorimeter, compressive strength and thermal weight analysis. In addition, the microstructure of HVFC was measured by mercury intrusionporosimetry. From the test results, it was confirmed that nano silica increased the early age strength and improve the microstructure of HVFC.
