Abstract

Abstract The objective of the study is to identify the possibilities of utilizing the quarry dust in concrete to obtain the improved strength and durability properties of concrete during sulphate attack by using smart piezoelectric sensor. In the present study the addition of quarry dust as alternative for natural sand and partial replacement for cement with GGBS has been investigated for the durability properties of concrete. Mechanical properties of conventional concrete and partially replaced GGBS concrete were evaluated. The GGBS incorporated concrete strength was evaluated and the comparison between mechanical properties of GGBS incorporated concrete and ordinary Portland cement concrete was made. Sensors were used for monitoring corrosion of reinforcement during sulphate attack in both cases.
