Abstract:
The increase in industrial activities of core sectors for the production of large amount of waste products like silica fumes, dust, fly ash, blast furnace slag with consequent problem of disposal of waste. So for the beneficial use of this waste could help to minimize the risk of degradation of environment. This paper deals with the waste product generated from industries in term of fly ash and silica fume as a partial replacement of cement. In this fly ash and fibre is used in varying proportion such as 25%, 50% and fibres as 0.5%, 1% whereas silica fume as 10%. M-40 grade concrete is used an accordingly mix design is prepared. Tests are performed for testing the efficiency of concrete. Concrete beam of size 100*100*500mm is prepared for calculation of flexural strength using flexural testing machine (FTM), with curing at 28 days in normal water and 5% con. Sulphuric acid. It was found that flexural strength increased at 25% and 10% replacement of cement with Fly ash and silica fume.
