N2 - The High-Strength Cement (HSC) technology is based on modification of Normal Use Portland Cement (NUPC) by complex admixtures, optimization of mixture design and grinding process. The present work shows the results of preparing and using Ultra-Fine Cement (UFC) as a binder material addition with no extra admixtures of different chemical composition to increase the compressive strength of mortars. The aim of this work is to demonstrate how a NUPC can be converted into a sort of HSC; it was observed that the 70-60 wt%NUPC + 30-40 wt%UFC blend satisfies the goal of increasing mortar's compressive strength.
