Influence of Curing Types on Properties of Concrete Using Slag Replacement
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
The influence of curing types on properties of concrete along with different percentage of cement replacement is studied. Air curing and accelerated curing are compared to water curing. Four types of mixes (i.e., with different cement replacements: 0% slag, 25% slag, 50% slag, and 75% slag) are used. The properties examined included compressive strength, tensile strength and permeability. Cubes of 150mm×150mm×150mm were used for compression test. Cylinders of 150mm diameter and 300mm height for split tensile test and cubes of 100mm×100mm×100mm were used for permeability test. Results showed that 25% cement replacement gave the maximum compressive strength. The strength reduced when the cement replacement was above 50%. Curing compound was used for air curing which gave strength slightly less than that for water curing. Accelerated curing was done by heating the specimen at 1100C.
