STRUCTURAL BEHAVIOUR OF RCC BEAM BY PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT IN HIGH PERFORMANCE CONCRETE

Civil Engineering

Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is the mostly consumed cement in the construction industries due to its diversified applications. Unfortunately, during the production of Portland cement, it causes the emission of pollutants into the atmosphere. Similarly the accumulation of the fly ash and Granulated glass blast furnace slag have been increased to a larger extend day by day which in return affect the environment. Hence the paper deals with the usage of partial replacement of cement by fly ash (FA), and Ground Granulated Blast Slag (GGBS) to achieve high strength concrete mixes. This paper presents an experimental work carried out to study the effects of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and class F Fly ash on strength development of concrete and the optimum use of slag in concrete. Cement was partially replaced with percentages (10%, 20% 30%, 40%, 50% and 60%) of slag and 20% of Class F Fly ash by weight of cement. Specimens are casted. The Compressive Strength, Split Tensile Strength and Flexural Behaviour of the Specimens will be tested. Results of blended concrete are compared with that of normal concrete without GGBS and Fly ash
