With increase in the demand of concrete there is increase in demand of cement. Manufacturing cement leads to emission of harmful gases like carbon-di-oxide. This emission of harmful gases in environment led to global warming. On another hand increasing waste landfills of different materials such as brick-dust, ceramic-dust, husk-ash and many more leads to environmental pollution. Hence to save the environment from the harmful gases and also from increasing landfills we make use of various waste material termed as pozzolans. In the pre-requisite research we had taken three different pozzolans say china-clay, flue-ash and brick-kiln-powder. All the three pozzolans were replaced with the part of cement in concrete. The replacement was done to evaluate the pozzolans effect on concrete. The pozzolans are replaced in various set proportions. The replacement proportions were 3%, 6%, 9%, 12%, 15%, 18% and 21%. The concrete developed using various proportions of different pozzolans were tested for various test. The tests were done on fresh concrete and also after concrete get hardened. The tests conducted were C-S, S-T-T, and workability test. In total 189 cubes samples and 189 cylinder samples were casted. The investigation at last concluded that 12% of china clay, 21% of flue-ash and 18% of brick-kiln-powder separately when replaced with cement showed tremendous results as compared to normal concrete. Both C-S and S-T-S were seen to be increasing in same pattern. As the proportion of china-clay increases in concrete the value of slump tends to decrease. But in case of flue-ash it was increasing with increase in % replacement of flue-ash. The slump value in case of brick kiln powder assumed to be higher at 12% replacement. Hence, it was concluded that use of pozzolans in concrete in replacement to cement is good.
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.
