The Role of Granite Waste Powder on Mechanical and Durability performance of GGBS and Metakaoline based concrete

Abstract Industrial wastes such as granite waste powder (GWP), GGBS, and Metakaoline (MK) are widely available in numerous Indian states. Due to their pozzolanic abilities, GGBS were used a partial alternative cement the manufacture of concrete, with constant levels 40% 10% Metakaoline. In addition, minimize use natural resources, was fine aggregate substitute various percentages (0, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%) on weight basis, PC-300 Maximo-Plats super plasticizer dose 0.3 percent retain essential workability. For this project, M45 grade concrete w/c ratio 0.36 assess mechanical properties blended at ages 7 28 days. At days age, durability studies water absorption RCPT tests conducted. According experimental data, optimum compressive strength found be 20% replacement GWP.
