Abstract

Abstract: Reactive powder concrete (RPC) is one of the ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). In RPC the coarse aggregate is eliminated and the micro particles like silica fume, quartz powder and sand are utilized in the production process. The high cement content and low water to binder ratio in RPC lead to shrinkage problems. Hence in this study, an attempt is made to produce eco-friendly RPC by replacing cement with 3 different pozzolanic materials from industrial wastes such as Fly ash, GGBS and Granite powder. To assess the viability of partial replacement of cement by pozzolanic materials, nine mixes have been arrived with 10%, 20% and 30% replacements. The fresh concrete property such as slump and the compressive strength are determined for all the mixes. By comparing the strength property the suitable alternate replacement material and replacement percentage for cement in RPC is found out
