Development of ternary blended rubberized cement mortar

Abstract

Abstract The production of concrete has led to a major environmental issue with the production of cement has led to an equivalent CO2 emission in to the atmosphere, which is one among the green house gases. Secondly, the production of concrete with natural aggregates is a major challenge with the mining of silica sand from the river beds has led to an enormous environmental threat. In order to overcome these issues, M−sand obtained from the quarries has led to an effective replacement for river sand. In addition, the dumping of discarded waste tire from the vehicles in the waste land has led to an environmental degradation of the land which leads to pollution. In order to effectively utilize this waste tires, these can be effectively utilized as a partial substitution for M−sand in the construction sector. Hence, this work has been framed to investigate the effect of substituting cement with industrial byproducts such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and silica fume (SF) and fine aggregate with crumb rubber at various replacement levels to assess the compressive strength of the ternary blended cement mortar.
