Abstract
Concrete is the most widely used building component in the world due to its versatility, low cost and durability. Most common coarse aggregate used in the construction are stones which is obtained from quarry. The demand for coarse aggregate in the construction industry has consequently increased due to the extensive use of natural resources. It has necessitated research into alternative materials of construction. This research aims to find the alternate material for coarse aggregate by using Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) clinker and to determine the hardened properties of non-conventional concrete in M20 Grade. The aggregate utilized in this work is an Eco friendly material, which replace the conventional coarse aggregate to preserve the depletion of natural resources. It is abundantly available than the conventional aggregate and reduce pollution. This paper focuses on investigating characteristics of concrete with replacement of coarse aggregate by GGBS Clinker. This study deals with the GGBS clinker advantages and limitations in concrete. The usage of GGBS clinker serves as a replacement of conventional aggregate to reduce the depletion of conventional building materials. It serves as an Eco friendly way of utilizing the by- product without dumping it on ground.
Highlights
Concrete is one amongst the foremost wide used construction material, it's typically related to Portland cement because the main part for producing concrete
Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) primarily based concrete had wonderful compressive strength, suffer little and drying shrinkage and it is appropriate for structural applications
Based on the studies conducted on strength characteristics of concrete created with utilizing waste materials, it had been found that the concrete made from waste ceramic tile aggregate made similar strength in compression, split tensile and flexure as standard concrete
Summary
Concrete is one amongst the foremost wide used construction material, it's typically related to Portland cement because the main part for producing concrete. Aggregate may be a broad class of coarse to medium grained particulate material employed in construction, as well as sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete and geo artificial aggregates. These measure the foremost strip-mined materials within the world. Each fine and coarse aggregates, take concerning 65-75% by volume of concrete and it measure vital ingredients in concrete production. They will be classified as natural or artificial betting on their sources. Natural aggregates measure obtained from quarries by process crushed rocks or from riverbeds whereas artificial aggregates concrete measure obtained from industrial by product like furnace
