Rheological and Mechanical Properties of Standard Concrete by using locally available Calcareous and Siliceous Material

Abstract

Abstract: The investigates is basically on the Rheological and Mechanical properties of standard concrete by using Locally available Calcareous and Siliceous material and a comparative study is done for the rheological parameter for mixes with or without using superplasticizer. For rheological parameter, various mixes with water cement ratio of 0.45 and slump value of 120 mm were prepared for the experiment by replacing different percent as (0%,5%,10%,15%) of locally available material such as Metakaolin and tested with German based instrument ICAR Rheometer. Test on Rheometer is done to study flow property of concrete so that concrete mixes can be pumped to high rise building properly. As per the finding, as the metakaolin percentage were increased the static yield and dynamic yield stress decreases this indicate that it is easy to pump at higher blending. For mechanical properties, mixes were prepared and test Performed is compressive strength test. The findings of this experiment have important implication for construction industry basically in the high-rise structure
