PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT WITH DIFFERENT ADDITIVES IN CONCRETE

Civil Engineering

Due to development in construction industries demand & need for cement is increasing day by day, which is main cause of pollution. In the manufacturing process of cement, emission of CO2 is more but also consumes significant amount of natural resource. Main problem is disposal of waste material as well as industrial by-product like from thermal power plant. As a matter of fact the current tendency in the world is to find new materials at lower cost which can guarantee better performances during their incorporations in the concrete. This study consist the development and properties of concrete by partial replacement of additives, Carbon Black Powder & Calcium Sulphate, Rice Ash Husk with Cement. An attempt was made using these materials, as filler, desiccant and which imparts the enhanced properties of concrete by partial replacement of cement with different percentage ratio. Concrete cubes and cylinders are cast depending on percentage ratio and it’s effect is studied at different ages by performing tests on concrete specimens. A comparison is made with test results to conventional concrete only to arrive at valid conclusion.
