Experimental studies for comparing Conventional concrete with Bubble deck concrete

Abstract

The main objective of this study is testing of cubes with same water/binder ratio of 0.45 of different grades like M20, M25 and M30 of Conventional concrete cubes (CCC) & Bubble Deck concrete cubes (BDCC) and Conventional 35 % Fly Ash concrete cubes (CFACC) & Bubble deck 35 % Fly Ash concrete cubes (BDFACC) for compressive strength at 7, 28, 90, 180 and 360 days through usage of 30 mm, 60 mm and 90 mm Polypropylene hollow balls in Bubble deck concrete cubes(BDCC) and Bubble deck Fly concrete cubes(BDFACC) and also for % of Weight reduction. It has been observed that as the percentage of weight reduction increases, the compressive strength of the concrete decreases by 0 to 0.3 %. And furthermore the compressive strength of Conventional concrete cubes(CCC), Conventional Fly concrete cubes(CFACC) and Bubble Deck concrete cubes(BDCC), Bubble Deck Fly concrete cubes (BDFACC) has been nearly same.
