Using Ggbs as Replacement of Cement in Concrete

Abstract

Concrete is produced by blending different amounts of water, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate with cement in a mixing container. A substantial quantity of concrete is utilized in the process of establishing infrastructure, which includes the construction of things like buildings, industrial structures, bridges, roads, and so on. This is due to the fact that concrete plays such a vital role in this process. On the other hand, it is believed that the high cost of concrete is due to the scarcity and high cost of its elements, which has led to the production of concrete being done using materials that are economically feasible alternatives. As a result, the price of concrete has increased significantly. Researchers have been interested in looking at novel options for the components that go into concrete as a result of this demand. This particular technical study's major purpose is to evaluate the qualities of concrete that has had a portion of its cement replaced with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS). This is the abbreviated form of the material's full name: ground granulated blast furnace slag.
