Workability Performance of Fresh Concrete Incorporated with GSA, GGBS and WF
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
The concrete is the most widely used building materials in the world throughout for the construction of infrastructure and other structures. The concrete is the second widely used substance on the earth next to water. The concrete is the composite homogeneous materials, which is commonly consists of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water. Among the various materials, the cement is most important materials in the preparation concrete. It will provide bond strength to concrete by binding the fine and coarse aggregate with each other due to chemical reaction developed by hydration of water. At the same time, the cost of cement is very high when compared to other materials used in concrete. On the other hand, the manufacturing of cement in large quantity is producing environmental pollution by emitting the CO2 content in huge volume to the environment. These two issues are induced the Civil Engineers to find the alternative binding materials for the better replacement of cement. In this research work, the locally available agricultural and industrial waste materials are used for the partial replacement of cement. In this present study, the agricultural waste used is Groundnut Shell Ash GSA and industrial waste material is Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag GGBS . The GSA is an ash obtained after burning the groundnut shell at high temperature in the kiln and the GGBS is a non metallic waste material available from iron industry. Hence the utilization of these waste materials without a harmful effect on nature has an important role for the manufacturing of concrete in conduction industries. In the present work, it is proposed to examine the workability performance study of concrete with partially replacing the cement with GSA, GGBS and WF with and without addition of super plasticizer. The slump test and compaction factor test were performed to evaluate the workability characteristics of fresh concrete for M20 mix grade. R.
