Effect of supplementary cementitious material on chemical resistance of concrete

Abstract

Recently the supplementary cementitious materials are used in the world widely in ready-mixed concrete because of it is economic and environmental benefits; they focusing on them has been increase in the recent years. Whether they come from industrial waste, agro wasted or with products, the SCM may be varied involving loose fasten to improve cement strength. SCM may contain slag cement, rice husk, fly ash, silica fume, and common pozzolans, to name a few. These components are used in combining with ordinary Portland cement (OPC). The use of those materials in concrete will part cut back the consumption of cement which, in turn, will reduce construction prices, providing materials suppliers, contractors and engineers with substantial blessings. This paper is reviewed the use of metakaolin (MK) and rice husk as fractional alteration of cement in mortar and concrete has been extensively widely in lately years. (SCM; Metakaolin, Rice husk ash) is investigated.
