The white cement, which has been used more widely in aesthetic and decorative applications in Turkey and the use of white cement has not widely common yet in constructional applications. In this study white cement, white calcareous aggregate and marble powder are used and produced white concrete. Furthermore, the effect of curing conditions was investigated on the compressive strength behavior of structural elements. For this reason, the performance properties of white concrete with various cement contents in the range of 250-650 kg/m3 were examined experimentally by keeping chemical admixture ratio constantly. The mixtures were produced in ten different proportions with and without chemical admixtures. The concrete mixtures which were prepared and cured in three different curing conditions. Some of the specimens were placed in water at 20 ± 2 oC and some of them were kept in laboratory environment without placing in water (20 ± 2 oC and % 68 RH) and the rest of the specimens were kept in nylon cover. In hardened concrete testing, compressive strength test was performed at 7, 28 and 90 days for white concrete specimens. Based on these concrete designs, it can be concluded that by the use of white cement between 250 and 650 kg/m3 it is possible to produce white concrete according to the ready-mixed concrete standard. According to test results, the specimens which were kept in water and prepared with chemical admixtures were performed better performance than the specimens were kept in air and nylon cover and produced without chemical admixtures.
