The engineering performance of eco-friendly concretes containing diatomite fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag

Approximately 10 % of CO2 is emitted from an ordinary Portland cement production. In and concrete production, emissions can be greatly reduced by using Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs). addition, the microstructure durability properties are improved when silica-rich SCMs used. this study, Eco-Friendly design was carried out three different SCMs. Diatomite, ground granulated blast furnace (GGBFS) fly ash (FA) were used as SCM in mixtures. instead at ratios 5, 10, 15, 20 wt %. When diatomite rate %, standard consistency water increased 1.7 times compared to reference mixture. With increase replacement ratio, final setting pastes increased. The high active SiO2 content shortened initial time compressive strength. use 5 slump value 57 Ve-Be tests GGBFS FA mixtures showed similar 28-day strength varied between 29.2–34.6 MPa. curing mixtures, up 50 improvements observed Especially on 180th day, a 44.1 MPa obtained with ratio. While abrasion properties, opposite result case GGBFS. It that closest As result, it determined could environmentally friendly
