Partial Replacement of GGBS, Ceramic Waste |
Abstract |
Waste management is one of the most common and challenging problem due to generation of industrial ceramic waste in the world. Waste is dumped away which result in environmental pollution threatening both agricultural and public health. GGBS is one of the industrial by product from the iron and steel making industries. This paper aims to study the suitability of blast furnace slag and ceramic waste from crushed fuse. In this project an attempt has been made to determine the optimum mix proportion of GGBS in fine aggregate with 30% replacement of cement by ceramic waste. In this research study the cement has been replaced by ceramic waste is constantly at 30 % and fine aggregate has been replaced by GGBS accordingly in the range of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% by weight of fine aggregate in M20 grade concrete. In this study the above concrete mixtures were produced, tested and compared in terms of compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength to conventional concrete. From this result analysis, for 30% replacement of cement with ceramic waste, the optimum value of GGBS to be used within the concrete mix with a water cement ratio of 0.5 was determined as about 40%. The compressive, flexural and split tensile strength of optimal concrete was found 45%, 53.4% and 64.9% higher than the reference concrete respectively. The finding revealed that use of ceramic fuse waste and GGBS leads to strengthening of concrete properties. |
