Experimental study on mechanical properties of supplementary cementitious materials. (2020) - Jonalagadda, Krishna Bhanu
Abstract: In the present trend, concrete has to maintain high strength properties in construction industries. Concrete is replaced by various materials to develop the strength in different studies. In this learn cement is in part replaced by mineral admixtures like GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag), Fly Ash (FA), Silica Fume (SF) with various percentage replacements i.e, 0%, 15%, 30%, 45% and also 0.5% Alkali Resistant Glass Fibers are also added to volume of concrete. Specimens are cast with M40 grade concrete for curing ages of 7, 28 days. Compressive, Split tensile, Bending strength tests are done and compared with control specimen.
