Experimental investigation of strength of concrete with GGBS, granite powder and treated wastewater

Abstract

In the current scenario, there is a continuous increase in population, rapid industrialization, and the accompanying technologies involving waste disposal, waste-product disposal, and the rate of discharge of pollutants into the atmosphere. All of these activities are carried out on a large scale. This is the root cause of the pollution of these natural resources. Therefore, there are two different things that need to be taken into careful consideration. The first option is to make use of waste products that are generated by industries, such as granite powder, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and so on. The second issue is the consumption of water that has been tainted. The swift ascent in the cost of industry led to an increase in the utilization of materials, which in turn led to an enormous demand for materials, which in turn led to an ascent in the cost of materials. In this study, we are going to partially replace the cement with GGBS, fine aggregates with granite powder, and water with treated water. Then, we are going to compare the properties of the new concrete to those of traditional concrete. The strength of concrete made with treated water is comparable to that of conventional concrete.
