Investigative Study of GGBS, Fly Ash and Steel Slag on Compressive Strength of Concret
Keywords:
GGBS, Fly Ash, Steel SlagAbstract
Concrete is world’s most used material after water for urban development. Concrete is made up of naturally occurring material such as Cement, Aggregate and Water. Global warming gas is released when the raw material of cement, limestone and clay is crushed and heated in a furnace at high temperature of about 1500’C. To promote sustainable development, it is promising to utilize by-products in the making of new CAM instead of using only cement. In this research, the cement content was partly replaced by fly ash or groundgranulated blast furnace (GGBS) slag to achieve this objective. The objectives of this study are to use industrial by-products such as fly ash, GGBS, and steel slag with the traditional concrete ingredients without impairing the performance characteristics. In order to assess the comparative performance of the improvised concrete obtained from the partial substitution of similar ingredient materials, the strength of concrete was analyzed from the viewpoints of indicators mainly the compressive strength and flexural strength. Industrial wastes like Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) show chemical properties similar to cement. Use of GGBS as cement replacement will simultaneously reduce cost of concrete and help to reduce rate of cement consumption.
