Experimental Investigation On Strength Properties Of Concrete With GGBS Sand, M Sand And Flyash

Abstract

In order to lessen concrete's negative effects on the environment, this article explores the possibility of using fly ash as a cement substitute. It goes on to say that fly ash may make concrete last longer and work better mechanically. The compressive strength of concrete was determined to be unaffected by the substitution of M sand for natural river sand in this experimental investigation. Additionally, it was shown that although using up to 15% fly ash as cement substitute somewhat boosts compressive strength, further increases in fly ash steadily lowers it. The impact of using GBS in place of natural fine aggregate on concrete mix characteristics was the subject of this investigation. Compressive and tensile strengths were also enhanced in GBS-bound concrete, according to the research.
