This paper is to experimentally investigate the strength and autogenous shrinkage of high strength mortar with the 20 % of water-binder ratio(W/B). In this study, the water substituting liquid(WSL) was used including gasoline, light oil, lamp oil, edible oil, HFE, ethanol, methanol and acetone in order to explore changes in strength and autogenous shrinkage depending on WSL type and replacement. For fresh properties, the replacement of WSL did not affect the fluidity of mortar mixtures considerably, except for ethanol and methanol. However, the replacement of WSL resulted in a slight decrease in flexural and compressive strength. For autogenous shrinkage, the replacement of WSL led to reduce autogenous shrinkage, and especially, the replacement of edible oil led to reduce autogenous shrinkage significantly due to saponification between edible oil and cement.
