Abstract:

There is various waste material which are cementitious waste, which are totally waste for the industries like Ground granulated blast furnace slag which is obtained from iron industries, hypo sludge ash which is obtained from paper industries, fly ash which is obtained from coal industries. There is a bigger problem dump that material and take an extra step for their disposal process. As this product have cementitious properties which means that chemical composition of waste material resembles with the chemical composition of cement. As now a day there is a heavy load on the natural resources like lime, for the production of cement. And in the production of cement there is a big environmental problem arises is with the production of cement are greenhouse gases, which causes environmental problem. In this paper our study is mainly on the effect of concrete with various replacement of GGBS, and this research paper mainly focus on the compressive strength and flexural strength of concrete. The concrete was prepared with the various replacements which varies from 0% to 80% and the strength gain of concrete is checked for different ages. For compressive strength it is 7 days, 28 days 90 days and for flexural strength it is 28 days and 90 days. And the results are concluded on the behalf of various test results obtained.
