Impact of alccofine on M50 grade of concerte along with Ggbs

Abstract

Concrete is the most widely used construction material in civil engineering industry because of its high structural strength and stability. Leaving the waste materials to the environment directly can cause environmental problem. Waste can be used to produce new products or can be used as admixtures so that natural resources are used more efficiently and the environment is protected from waste deposits. Hence the reuse of waste material has been emphasized. The overall performance of reinforced concrete composite material is affected then the individual performance of the concrete itself. This led to the search for new material. In this research the mechanical properties of concrete is studied by replacing cement with GGBS and addition of Alccofine with different weight fractions with respect to cement. The concrete industry is constantly looking for supplementary material with the objective of reducing the solid waste disposal problem. In this paper Alccofine is replaced by cement, the research is carried out by using M50 grade concrete with replacement of 0%,5%,10%,15%,20% Alccofine by cement by keeping GGBS as 30%,constant and is carried out to determine the optimum percentage of replacement at which maximum C S, S Tand also F S is achieved, the properties of the material are analyzed.
