Numerical Modelling and Analysis of GGBS Mortar for Predicting Strength Parameters
Cement production is a significant source of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and is responsible for around 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. New studies recommend replacing cement with other supplementary cementitious materials such as Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), fly ash, etc. The use of these materials can also help to reduce waste, as they are typically disposed of in landfills. GGBS is an industrial waste product that is produced as a by-product during the production of iron. The disposal of GGBS can potentially pose environmental hazards if it is not appropriately managed. GGBS can improve durability and strength when used as an ingredient in concrete. The use of GGBS reduces the amount of cement needed for construction, which in turn reduces the amount of CO2 emission associated with cement production. This study numerically models GGBS mortar which is a combination of 50% cement and 50% GGBS considering economy and strength parameters. ABAQUS CAE 2020 is used for the finite element modeling of the GGBS mortar. The numerical model is validated using the experimental results from the literature. This study provides useful contributions toward sustainable construction practices.
