The production of cement results in emission of many green house gases in atmosphere , which are responsible for global warming. Hence the results are currently focussed on use of waste material having cementing properties , which can be added in cement concrete as partial replacement of cement , without compromising on its strength and durability , which will result in decrease of cement production thus reduction in emission in green house gases , in addition to sustainable management of the waste. The GGBS is a waste product from the iron manufacturing industry , which may be used as a replacement of cement in concrete due to its inherent cementing properties. This paper presents an experimental study of compressive and flexural strength of concrete prepared with ordinary Portland cement , partially replaced by GGBS in different proportions varying from 0%,15%,30% & 45% in M30 grade of concrete. It is observed from the investigation that the strength of concrete is inversely proportional to the % of replacement of cement with GGBS. And in addition crystalline waterproofing agent is added to the ratio of 125ml for 50kg cement bag , it gives better strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
