A STYDY ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF FELDSPAR ACTIVATOR ON GEOPOLYMERIZATION OF REDMUD AND GGBS
Abstract: It is well known fact that the Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) is most important construction material. Keeping in view the hazardous effects of Portland cement on environment, efforts are being put to reduce use of cement in concrete with its partial or full replacement by various waste materials such as Red mud (RM), Ground Granulated Blas Furnace Slag (GGBFS or GGBS), Flyash, Silica fume etc.. Geopolymer Concrete (GPC) is a …

A Technical Analysis of Fly Ash Concrete for Compressive Strength
Abstract: Fly ash is a waste produced by thermal power plants and used as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in the production of Portland cement concrete. A supplementary cementitious material, when used in combination with Portland cement, pays to the properties of the hardened concrete through hydraulic or pozzolanic activity, or both. At present fly ash, is a big environmental concern and issues. The analysis presented in this paper is carried …

Analyzing Strength Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete at Elevated Temperatures
Abstract: This study investigates the influence of fly ash substitution for Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) on the compressive and splitting tensile strengths of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) mixes. The findings reveal that while early age strength may decrease with fly ash substitution, strategic material selection, such as incorporating foundry sand, mitigates this decline. Satisfactory fresh properties were achieved across SCC mixes labeled SCC1-SCC4, with compressive strengths ranging from 30.49 to 19.19 MPa …
