Sustainable Studies On Structural Performance And Thermal Cycle On Cement Concrete Pavement With Using GGBS

Abstract

Due to the increase in construction industry which results the demand of concrete rapidly, Therefore the Production of cement involves emission of large amounts of carbon-dioxide gas into the atmosphere, a major contributor for green house effect and the global warming, The utilization of supplementary cementation materials is well accepted, since it leads to several possible improvements in the concrete composites, as well as the overall economy. The aim of our investigation is to determine GGBS as partial replacement of cement with compare to conventional cement concrete pavement. In the present study M20 grade of concrete were consider, With the W/C ratio as 0.5 were used.  The specimens are casted for investigating the mechanical properties like Compression strength, Flexural, and Split tensile, Thermal cycle compressive strength tests. The percentage of Cement is replacing by 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% of GGBS. The results were founds to be satisfactory with percentage replacement of 15 to 30%.
