The Effect of Alccofine on Blended Concrete Under Compression

Lecture Notes on Multidisciplinary Industrial Engineering Emerging Technologies for Agriculture and Environment

Ternary Blended Concrete (TBC) with Nano-Silica (NS) is receiving special attention because of its ability to improve the performance of concrete as compared with the control concrete. The present investigation deals about the behavior of TBC produced, using Fly Ash (FA) and Alccofine (ALC) as a partial replacement for cement along with four different types of colloidal NS (CemSynXLP, CemSynXTX, CemSynXFX, CemSynXTXla) as additives. The compressive strength of M30 grade of TBC was tested after 7, 14 and 28 days of curing. From the study, it has been found that the TBC mix with 25% replacement for cement (FA at 15% and ALC at 10%) and with addition of 1% CemSynXTXla type of NS as an additive has achieved higher strength than all other types of TBC mixes.

Study on effect of colloidal Nano silica blended con-crete under compression

Making concrete industry sustainable in the present scenario is very important, so as to reduce its adverse effects on environment. While choosing raw materials for construction it is necessary to go with eco-friendly materials. Alccofine (Ultra fine form of slag) which are by-product from steel industry possess cementitious properties can be used as replacement of cement, which are causing a lot of environmental pollution. Initially, concrete mixes of M30 grade-with replacement of cement by 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40% of GGBS were prepared. They were subjected to compression test so as to select the optimum replacement percentage of GGBS. Keeping this optimum percentage of GGBS as constant, further replacement of cement with Alccofine was done varying its replacement in the range of 8%, 10%, 12% and 14%. The property such as compressive strength of these mixes was computed for 7, 14 and 28 days. whereas their compressive strength values were found to be less than that of the conventional concrete mixes. This goes to prove that the combination of GGBS and Alccofine as replacement for cement would not be useful in the formation of TBC, and hence alternative materials need to be sought for. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

A Study on Compressive Behavior of Ternary Blended Concrete Incorporating Alccofine

Fly ash (FA) and Alccofine are the eco-friendly materials that can be used in the production of concrete composites. Initially, concrete mixes of M30 grade with replacement of cement by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% by weight of Fly ash were prepared. They were subjected to compression test so as to select the optimum replacement percentage of FA. Keeping this optimum percentage of FA as constant, additional replacement of cement with Alccofine was done varying its replacement in the range of 8%, 10%, 12% and 14%. The mechanical properties such as compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths of these mixes were computed for 7, 14 and 28 days. The results of Eco-Friendly Concrete (EFC) are compared with those of control concrete. It was observed that EFC mixes exhibited superior qualities like quick setting and enhanced workability, their mechanical properties were found to be higher than that of the conventional concrete. This goes to prove that the combination of FA and Alccofine together as replacement for cement would enhance the properties of EFC. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
