A Study on Strength Characteristics of Metakaoline and G.G.B.F Slag as a Partial replacement of Cement in Concrete

Concrete is an important material used for construction throughout the world because of the properties of concrete that made it to use in construction in almost all type of structures due to which the consumption of concrete is increasing day by day, which results in increase of extraction of stone crush aggregate, sand and lime etc as result the environment is getting polluted day by day and creating a matter great concern. In this dissertation work the cement is replaced partially with metakaolin and G.G.B.F slag at various %ages respectively, and their corresponding strength properties are compared with that of conventional concrete. Metakaolin and G.G.B.F slag which are the two most commonly available and economic industrial bi products which minimizes the consumption of cement required for construction by partially replacing it with cement, without compromising the corresponding concrete strength properties.
