Abstract The paper presents the correlation between flexural strength and modulus of elasticity with respect to compressive ternary concrete (TC), made by incorporating Micro silica (5% 15%) Ground granulated blast furnace slag (20% 50%) considering w/b=0.55. A total twelve mixes one conventional mix were prepared identify optimum mix. Flow characteristics properties (compression, rupture elast...

There has been a significant movement in the past decades to develop alternative sustainable building material such as geopolymer cement/concrete control CO2 emission. Industrial waste contains pozzolanic minerals that fulfil requirements alumino-silicate based geopolymer. For example, industrial red mud, fly ash, GBFS/GGBS (granulated blast furnace slag/ground granulated slag), rice husk ash (...

Foamed mortar with a density of 1300 kg/m³ was prepared. In the initial laboratory trials, water-to-cement (w/c) ratios ranging from 0.54 to 0.64 were tested to determine the optimal value for foamed mortar corresponding to the highest compressive strength without compromising its fresh state properties. With the obtained optimal w/c ratio of 0.56, two types of foamed mortar were prepared, name...

Abstract This work aimed to evaluate the role of addition blast furnace slag for formation reaction products and strength development volcanic ash-based phosphate geopolymer. Volcanic ash was replaced by 4 6 wt% ground granulated accelerate kinetics. Then, influence boric acid controlling setting kinetics reactions also evaluated. The results demonstrated that competition between dissolution as...
