The possibility of reducing the excessive strength of self-compacting high-strength concrete for use in general construction was investigated. As a cement for such concrete, a cement-ash binder was studied, part of which was replaced by an inert mineral additive - microquatz, obtained by grinding quartz sand. It was established that the studied additive at a dosage of up to 30% does not allow to reduce the strength of concrete to the values ​​characteristic of general purpose concrete. It has been experimentally shown that the replacement of a part of the binder with microquartz does not significantly affect the initial modulus of elasticity, but significantly reduces the fast-flowing creep
