Parametric Experimental Studies of Durability Properties of Concrete Incorporating Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) and Silica Fume
Global warming and CO2 emissions have made sustainable development a priority in recent decades. Different industrial sectors are rapidly evolving advanced technologies while still grappling with waste disposal issues. Environmental pollution is caused by various sector’s waste management problems. Concrete manufacturing is made possible by replacing cement with various industrial wastes, and efforts are made to mitigate environmental emissions and waste management concepts. The use of industrial waste in concrete is being implemented nowadays to provide the best alternative for the environment and the construction field to develop sustainable concrete. Different percentages of industrial waste, such as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) up to 50% and Silica Fume up to 20%, were used in the current study for concrete processing. After a 28-day curing cycle, hardened concrete was tested for compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength. After that, Exposure of MgSo4 was given to concrete to assess sulfate effect. Concrete was also subjected to some non-destructive testing (NDT) to assess strength degradation. The findings of this investigation were found to be satisfactory, indicating that concrete with optimal waste replacement improves physical properties.
