Abstract:

Concrete is the most extensively used edifice material in civil engineering industry because of its higher structural strength and stability. The concrete produced with cement contains pores, in order to condense the pores, use of industrial by product like GGBS as a filler material. The purpose of this present study is to evaluate the suitability of GGBS as a filler material. A cement concrete with M-sand and GGBS were prepared in different proportions 5%, 10%, 15%. The strength properties were determined such as compressive and split tensile test at 7 and 28 days. Results show that GGBS is highly significant to improve the strength of concrete as a filler material. The benefits of using GGBS in cement concrete as a mineral filler 15% gave the better results compared to the other proportions (0%, 5%, 10%).The study indicates the possibility of using GGBS as filler in cement concrete.
