This article investigates the slump and compressive strength of artificial lightweight aggregate concrete with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) and Silica Fume with glass fibres. The increase in usage of cement in the construction industry is a concern for ecological deterioration, in this view; artificial aggregates was manufactured with major amount of fly ash and replacement of cement with various industrial by-products in concrete. An optimum level of GGBFS from 10 to 50% and Silica Fume from 2 to 6% with addition of glass fibres was assessed based on compressive strength values. The compressive strength was conducted for 7 and 28Days of water curing on M30 grade lightweight concrete with constant water to cement ratio as 0.45 and 0.2% of Master Gelenium super plasticizer. The conclusions achieved from the compressive strength of concrete containing GGBFS and Silica Fume was increased as the curing time increases. As a result lightweight aggregate concrete with a cement content of 226 kg/m3 develops 37.3 N/mm2 compressive strength.

Geopolymer Paste

In this paper, compressive strength (CS) of geopolymer paste has been studied under ambient conditions using locally available Class C fly ash, GGBFS and silica fume and a combination alkali activator, namely: NaOH and Na2SiO3 . Two approaches were used for mix proportioning and 60 mixes of the paste were proportioned. It is found that all the mixes proportioned were workable and no adverse effects were observed within 30 minutes of mixing. It is found that the ‘minimum voids’ approach along with a constant fly ash – to – activator ratio (FA/AA) is the best approach for the design of geopolymer mixes, rather than a constant water- to- solid ratio (w/s). Further, the role of GGBFS and SF on the CS of the paste has also been highlighted.
