Replacement Of Cement By Ggbs In Concrete

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.

Replacement of cement by ggbs in concrete.

On the other hand it also contributes to environmental protection because it minimizes the use of cement during the production of concrete. Ggbs is used as a direct replacement for portland cement on a one to one basis by weight. The effect of ggbs and fly ash as partial cement replacement was examined on concrete cubes cylinder and beams. 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.

How ggbs cement is used. Concrete is consumed in large quantities in construction. Chapter 5 of the book is dedicated to the sustainability of cement concrete and cement replacement materials in. 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.

Similarly low cement content concrete kerb backing etc the reduction will be magnified. The reduction in early strength will be more noticeable at high ggbs levels and low temperatures. An experimental investigation on properties of concrete by partial replacement of cement with ggbs and fine aggregate with quarry dust dr. 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.

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. The normal ratios of aggregates and water to cementitious material in the mix remain unchanged.
