Abstract Concrete is very important elements since it is utilised in building. The focus of this project work is on the utilisation of cementitious materials such as, Ground Granulated Blast Furnace slag (GGBS) with various percentages of 10%, 20% & 30% and Metakaolin of 5%, 10% & 15% In concrete, as a partial substitute for cement. Water Cement Ratio of, 0.4%, 0.43% & 0.45% and about162Cubesof size, 100 ×100 ×100 mm and 162 cylinders of size 300 mm height and a diameter of 150 mm were cast in M40 concrete and tested for compressive and spilt tensile strength for 7 and 28 days, respectively. To determine their strength qualities. Steel fibres of 0.5%, GGBS of 10%, Metakaolin of 10% And water cement ratio, of 0.4% is used in beam of size 150x250x1500mm is castforM40gradeofconcreteandtested for flexural behaviour of 28 days. The acquired results were regarded to be encouraging, and this study can be expanded by adding other mineral admixtures

1.INTRODUCTION

Concrete plays a significant part in the rapidly increasing creative discipline. New techniques and technologies in construction,structural,andcivilengineeringhaveresulted in more stringent standards for this material. Cement use willrapidlyincreaseallacrosstheworld.TheamountofCO2 emittedintotheatmospheremustbereduced.Reducethe cement content of the material and utilise pozzolanic materialsforconcreteisoneofthetreatmentstoovercome this example (CO2). Metakaolin, ground granulated blast furnaceslag,MicroSilica,FlyAsh,andothermaterialsare someofthem.

Since concrete is second only to water in terms of consumption, a lot of research and adjustments are being done to make concrete with the needed qualities. The strength, workability, durability, and other qualities of conventional concrete needed to be modified to make it moresuitedfordiverseconditionsastechnologyprogressed andtheareaofuseofconcreteandmortarsgrew.Thishas resultedintheusageofcementitiousmaterialslikeasGGBS, fly ash, silica fume, metakaolin and others, which is have contributedtoimprovedperformance,energyconservation,

and economic efficiency. When GGBS and metakaolin are usedtopartiallyreplacecementinconcrete,theamountof cementusedisreduced,carbondioxide(CO2)emissionsare reduced, existing resources are conserved, and concrete strengthanddurabilityareimproved.

Recentresearchinmanyregionsoftheworldhaveshowed thatggbsconcretemaybetterpreservesteelreinforcement andhencethestructureasawhole,allowingittowithstand corrosion. Ggbs concrete is a form of concrete in which a portionofthecementisreplacedbyanindustrialbyproduct calledgroundgranulatedblastfurnaceslag.Asaresult,the use of GGBS concrete can significantly reduce corrosion. Furthermore, it can lead to a significantly more robust construction without a significant cost rise. Because ggbs from current thermal power plants does not require processing before being integrated into concrete, it is regarded as an environmentally friendly input material. When used in concrete, ggbs can be utilised as a partial replacement for Portland cement without affecting compressivestrength.

Metakaolin enhances the qualities of concrete by raising compressive and flexural strength, giving chemical resistance, decreasing permeability, limiting alkali silica reaction, decreasing efflorescence and shrinkage, and avoidingsteelcorrosion.

When GGBS was used to replace 10% of the cementinM40gradeconcrete,thecompressivestrength wasfoundtobethehighest,comparedto20%,30%and 40% cement replacement with GGBS. The compressive strengthofM20gradeconcretewasfoundtobemaximum at10%cementsubstitutionwithGGBS,followedby20,30 and40%cementsubstitutionwithGGBS,inthatorder.The authorsconcludedfromthetestfindingsthattheefficiency factorforM40gradeconcretewasshowedtobegreatestat 10percentcementsubstitutionwithGGBSat28days.

In 28 days, all modified and regulated concretes reached the required strength of 35MPa. With addition of 5% and 10% metakaolin to the cement,thecompressivestrengthofconcreteisraisedby 7% and 16.75%, respectively. Similarly, a 15% and 20% additionofmetakaolinincreasescompressivestrengthby 11.42 percent and 6%, respectively. This clearly reveals thattheoptimalproportionofmetakaolinintheconcreteis 10%.For28days,the%increaseinstrengthcharacteristics in compressive strength is 16.75,split tensile strength is 7.1,andflexuralstrengthis7.88,respectively.Amaximum of10%ofthecementcanbesubstitutedwithmetakaolin

Steel fibres are circular, square, crescent shaped and irregular. Steel fibres are obtained from melt excavation process.Circularsteelfibrescanbeproducedbycuttingwire ofdiameter0.10to0.30inches.Crimpedsteelfibresof30mm longandadiameterof0.6mmandanacceptratioof50are used in the test. Accept ratio is equal is length divided by diameterofthefibre.Densityofsteelfibresis7840kg/m3 andspecificgravityof7.9isusedintheexperiment.

4.6 Ground granulated blast furnace slag(GGBS)

The blast furnace generates GGBS as a byproduct, which heatsironore,limestone,andcoketo1500°Ctoproduceiron. When these components melt in the blast furnace, they producemoltenironandmoltenslag.Themoltenslagfloats ontopofthemoltenironbecauseitislighter.Themoltenslag is mostly made up of iron ore silicates and alumina, with some limestone oxides thrown in for good measure. The granulatingprocessincludescoolingthemoltenslagusing high pressure water jets. This quickly cools the slag, producing granular particles with diameters smaller than 5mm. The rapid cooling prevents the formation of larger crystals, resulting in 95 percent non crystalline granular calcium alumina silicates. Another good cementitious materialisGGBScement.

8.4.1 FLEXURE TEST

The flexure tests have been carried out for nominal beam (beam1)andadmixturesaddedbeam(beam2).Thebeams are tested by applying a load to a loading frame using a hydraulicjackhavingacapacityof2000KN.Hydraulicjacks are used to provide two point loading on a beam with a constant moment. The beam was supported by two basic supports that rested on steel plates measuring 200mm x 100mm. The beam's effective length is 1000mm. To get deflection values, the deflection gauge is mounted at the bottomofthespecimenalongthedepthofthebeam. Thebeams(2no’s)ofsize:1500mmx250mmx150mm have been tested under two point loading. The load deflection characteristics, failure mechanisms, and load capacity curve are analysed. After applying the load uniformlycracksaredevelopedinbeam.Flexurefractures appearfirstinthemiddleofthespan,followedbydiagonal cracks.Later,thesecracksspreadtothespotwhereloadwas applied.

9. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS

9.1 Workability

Table8.1showsthatastheamountofGGBSisraised,the slump increases as well. It may be inferred that the higherthepercentagesofGGBS,themoreworkability.

Ascanbeseenintable 8.1,theslumpdecreasesasthe proportionofMetakaolinincreases.Itmaybededuced that the higher the amount of Metakaolin, the less workability.

e ISSN: 2395 0056

p ISSN: 2395 0072

It is observed that beam 2 shows more strength when comparedtothebeam1.Becausethebeam2consistsof 10%GGBS,10%metakaolinand0.5%,ofsteel,fibres.

Theflexural,strengthofbeam2wasincreased,by3.15% whencomparetothenominalconcrete.

10. CONCLUSION

Highercompressiveandtensilestrengthmaybeachieved whenthecementispartially,replaceby10%GGBSand 10%metakaolinwithawatercementratioof0.4.

From table 8.1 it is observed that workability for10 % GGBS&5%Metakaolinmixslumpismaximum,hencethe optimum mix is 10% GGBS & 5 % MK for good workability.

 Concreteworkabilityisgreaterforwatercementratiosof 0.4thantheratioof0.43and0.45.

The GGBS shows high workability because it contains calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) which has a high dense andislessporous.

Themetakaolinshowslessworkabilitywhencompareto an a GGBS material because the Metakaolin has high absorptionofwaterduetothemanufactureprocessingis doneintempof650 900 ℃

9.2 Compressive strength and Split tensile strength

When comparing the compressive strength and split tensilestrengthofconcretecreatedbyreplacingcement with GGBS and Metakaolin (10%), the compressive strength and split tensile strength of the concrete producedbyreplacingcementwithGGBSandMetakaolin (10%)showsthehigheststrength.

7 days compressive, strength of 10% GGBS and 10% metakaolin is found to be 37.33 N/mm2 and 36.33 N/mm2 and is optimum, when compared to nominal concreteofstrength35.33N/mm2

28 days compressive strength of 10% GGBS and 10% metakaolinisfoundtobe53N/mm2 and52N/mm2 and is optimum, when compared to nominal concrete of strength50.33N/mm2 .

7 days Split tensile strength of 10% GGBS and 10% metakaolinisfoundtobe1.98N/mm2 and,1.97N/mm2 and,isoptimum, whencomparedtonominalconcreteof strength1.9N/mm2 .

28days Split tensile strength of 10% GGBS and 10% metakaolinisfoundtobe3.34N/mm2 and3.29N/mm2 andisoptimum, whencomparedtonominalconcreteof strength3.11N/mm2

TheGGBSof10%showshighcompressivestrength,and highsplittensilestrength,whencomparetothe20%& 30%ofGGBSbecausethechemicalreactiontakesplace attheadditionof10%GGBSonly,forfurtherpercentages chemicalreactionisnotfullycompleted.

Finally, the compressive strength, and split, tensile strengthachievedishighwiththe,replacementof10% GGBS and 10% metakaolin compared to nominal mix concrete.

Theclinkerdilutioneffectreducesthebothstrengthsof metakaolin by 5% and 15%, respectively, when comparedto10%metakaolin.Thedilutingeffectoccurs whenaportionofthecementisreplacedwiththesame amount of metakaolin. The filler effect, pozzolanic reaction in metakaolin with calcium hydroxide, and compounding effect respond oppositely to the dilution effectsinmetakaolinconcrete.Asaresult,thereexisted an optimum metakaolin substitute for metakaolin concrete.

The load v/s deflection graph of beam 1 has obtained maximumloadof214.6KNfor11mmdeflection.

 The load v/s deflection graph of beam 2 has obtained maximumloadof221.36KNfor9mmdeflection.

It is observed that beam 2 shows more strength when compare to the specimen beam 1. Because the beam 2 consistsof10%GGBS,10%metakaolinandO.5%0fSteel fibres.

 When compared to the nominal concrete, the flexural strengthofspecimenofbeam2increasesby3.15%.
