Abstract |
|
The cement is one of the most demanding binding material in cement infrastructure industry since from its discovery it became very popular due its bonding and durable nature. The raw material required for production of cement is mine everyday, due to increase in demand of cement raw material they are in verge of exhaust which has an direct impact on price of cement and Indian economy. The use supplementary cementitious material (SCMs) like Fly ash and Calcite can be the innovative approach to develop concrete without any side effect on its properties. Fly ash is a waste generated from thermal power station which contain high amount of SiO2 and Calcite which is reach in CaCO3, experimental investigation shows that, it enhances the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. |
