In recent years, Applications of high-strength and high-performance mineral admixtures for use in concrete are becoming more and more popular. The researches focus mainly on the mineral admixtures in concrete. Mineral admixtures that increase the early age strength of concrete is necessary for the production of pre-cast railway sleepers. The 1d activity index of these mineral admixtures should be no less than 125%. Based on the physical properties and economical efficiency of the high-quality fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume and so on, a composite mineral admixture is developed. The test results with the new admixture show that the composite admixture (with a specific area of 600 m^2/kg) together with some silica fume and some early strength agent can meet the requirements. The 1d activity index and 28d activity index of this composite admixture is 129% and 116%, respectively. By adding this composite mineral admixture to the mixture for railway concrete sleepers, the compressive strength and durability of the concrete meet the design requirements.
