Experimental study of replacement of cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag

This research investigates and assesses the effects of substituting fly ash and ground-granulated blast-furnace slag for cement on the compressive energy and break-up tensile strength of a concrete mixture after 28 days. It is not intended to be all-encompassing. With the M40 concrete grade in mind, it was decided to explore and evaluate the compressive strength of concrete generated by substituting GGBS for cement at different percentages of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% of total cement content, respectively. When building a concrete structure, it is vital to keep the energy efficiency coefficients for GGBS at different percentages of 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40 for concrete with the M40 strength grade in mind. When the experimental usefulness was changed from liquid to solid, it was necessary to inspect the cubes in order to learn about compressive strength in order to achieve the research goals and finish the study objectives, rather than doing so as soon as expected at the start. Cement, high-quality aggregate, a coarse mixture, and water are only a few of the ingredients that go into making concrete. Concrete is used in a variety of infrastructure projects, including buildings, commercial structures, bridges, and highways. Concrete is used for a variety of other purposes as well. The fundamental purpose of the extensive use of concrete in construction is to increase the building's structural strength. The cost of concrete, on the other hand, is determined by the cost of its additives, which are restricted and costly due to the usage of low-priced components in its production. As a result of this pressing need, researchers have taken it upon themselves to provide fresh and real alternatives to current technologies. Copyright (C) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
