“…Similar findings were also observed by Bignozzi et al [31]. Consequently, it can be concluded that POFA has to undergo physical modification to enhance its filler performance, a conclusion that has also been reached by Memon et al [32].…”

“…Relevant literature is mostly of the opinion that utilizing GGBS with varied fineness and a replacement level of up to 50% results in increased strength. Results from the first three levels of replacements in this paper (30%, 40% and 50%) are in agreement to those in studies conducted by Maier and Durham [8], Babu and Kumar [11], Memon et al [12] and Aljoumaily et al [17]. The mixes CF-60 and CF-70 progressed throughout the periods (7,14, and 28 days) and increased in strength by 74.9% and 50.3% respectively from the control mix.…”

“…However, this loss rate declined during the later phases. These results concur with those of TopçU and Boga [10], Memon et al [12]. With regard to density loss, the results reveal similar behaviour for the mixes CFP and CF-30 comparing with other mixes.…”

“…A maximum dosage (2%) of Super-Plasticizer was used for the cementation material. Memon et al [12] conducted a study using three mix ratios (1:2, 1:2.5 and 1:3) in a mortar based mixture. By substituting 50% of the cement content with GGBS and utilizing a super-plasticizer 0.5%, she achieved increased material strength in 28 days and a reduction in unit weight that was in tandem with an increase in slag content.…”

Abstract. For many years, supplementary cementation materials have been utilized as cement or filler replacements to heighten the properties of concrete. The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the effects of un-processed blast furnace slag (RS) on the compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths of foam concrete over periods of 7, 14 and 28 days. The introduction of slag to the cement begins at 30% and rises to 70% of the total content. Six mixes, which include the control mix with a similar mix ratio (1:2:0.45) and a dry density of 1300 kg/m 3 is generated. Taking into consideration, from the total weight of the cementation material, 1% of super-plasticizer (PS-1) is added to the mixes with slag content. Test results revealed that the most favourable (optimum) replacement level of un-processed slag in foam concrete is 30%. This represents a commercial advantage as the cement requirement is reduced from 414 Kg/m 3 to 290 Kg/m 3 . On the 28 th day, the optimum mix showed higher values than the control mix by 32% for compressive strength, 46.5% for splitting tensile strength and 61% for flexural strength.

“…The use of fibres is well known to affect the workability and flowability of plain concrete intrinsically [26]. In this study, the quantity of water and SP were kept constant for all mixes in order to evaluate the effects of different PP fibres on the workability of OPC.…”
