Effects Of Scba And Fly Ash On Performance Of Scc

Abstract

Progress in concrete technology could lessen natural resource exploitation, including reduction in energy consumption and decrease in environmental load of greenhouse gases. In thermal factories today significant quantities of fly ash are produced, instilling serious environmental and health issues. Analysis has shown that any tonne of cement produced emits half a tonne of carbon dioxide and thus the use of cement needs to be monitored immediately. Wastes with products like SCBA & Fly Ash, which in addition are environmental risks, are hard to disposal. The SBCA & Fly ash provides high early concrete strength and also decreases concrete permeability. The silica in the SBCA binds with mortar ingredients upon hydration which provides greater characteristics including chloride tolerance, resistance to corrosion and so forth. The use of SBCA in concrete thus not only decreases the emissions of the environment, strengthens the quality of concrete and decreases costs, making concrete more durable. This study focuses primarily on replacing cement in set ratios with SCBA and FA. Concrete blends were casted in different ratios of SCBA as well as FA for 0 %, 5 %, 10%, 15 %, 20 %, 25 % of cubes were cast and cured for 7, 14 and 28 days in water.
