Replacement Of Cement By Ggbs In Concrete

Each human being consumes one tonne of concrete per year which makes it the substance with the second highest consumption only water is higher concrete centre 2003.

Replacement of cement by ggbs in concrete.

Concrete is consumed in large quantities in construction. In this research paper we have kept percentage of fly ash for every trial constant except for conventional trial and ggbs was used to replace cement partially from 40 up to 70 while keeping fly ash 25 as constant throughout. Typically the 7 day strength of a ggbs concrete will be 55 65 of the 28 day strength compared to 70 80 for a similar cem i portland cement concrete. Ggbs cement can be added to concrete in the concrete manufacturer s batching plant along with portland cement aggregates and water.

Mallikarjuna in the present study an investigation is made on properties of concrete by partial replacement of cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag ggbs and fine. An experimental investigation on properties of concrete by partial replacement of cement with ggbs and fine aggregate with quarry dust dr. The effect of ggbs and fly ash as partial cement replacement was examined on concrete cubes cylinder and beams. How ggbs cement is used.

Similarly low cement content concrete kerb backing etc the reduction will be magnified. From structural point of view ggbs replacement enhances lower heat of hydration higher durability and higher resistance to sulphate and chloride attack when compared with normal ordinary concrete. Ggbs is used as a direct replacement for portland cement on a one to one basis by weight. On the other hand it also contributes to environmental protection because it minimizes the use of cement during the production of concrete.

With the addition of 40 of ggbs as a replacement of cement for an m25 grade of concrete there is an increase in the strength compared to the normal concrete. The reduction in early strength will be more noticeable at high ggbs levels and low temperatures.
