GGBS cement is routinely specified in concrete to provide protection against both sulfate attack and chloride attack. GGBS has now effectively replaced sulfate-resisting Portland cement (SRPC) on the market for sulfate resistance because of its superior performance and greatly reduced cost compared to SRPC. Most projects in Dublin's Docklands, including Spencer Dock, are using GGBS in subsurface concrete for sulfate resistance.
GGBS proportions. On its own GGBS hardens slowly and, for use in concrete, it needs to be activated by combining it with an activator (typically Portland cement CEM I but alkali activation is also used). A typical combination is 50% GGBS with 50% CEM I, but percentages of GGBS anywhere between 20 and 80% are commonly used.
01-10-2015· Split Tensile Strength of concrete for M40 vs % of GGBS From Figure 6 and 7, it is observed that at about 40% replacement of cement with GGBS, concrete attains its maximum split tensile strength ...
GGBS was found to produce an optimum strength of concrete (Oner and Akyuz, 2007). The corrosion resistance (mainly due to chlorine), durability and binding power of concrete is improved by using GGBS. It modifies the pore structure of concrete and results in a more hardened concrete and also abrasion resistance (Rao, et al., 2016).
The compressive strength of concrete is tested at the age of 28 days from curing and it is considered as the design strength (Chopra, Sharma and Kumar, 2016)(Young et al., 2019).
GGBS in long-span concrete structures by verifying that this detrimental effect on strength can be mitigated by the reduced thermal contraction. Another objective of this project is to encourage the use of GGBS in long-span concrete structures by minimising the use of more expensive crack
In the production of ready-mixed concrete, GGBS replaces a substantial portion of the Portland cement component, generally about 50%, but sometimes up to 70%. The higher the proportion, the better is the durability. The disadvantage of the higher replacement level is that early-age strength development is somewhat slower. Other forms of concrete
14-09-2019· I want to know. As per IS codes what is the maximum GGBS content i can add into concrete as a replacement of Cement. Can i add GGBS beyond the limit specified in IS code. This is important interview question, i want correct answer for it.
Strength. If 50% of GGBS is used in a concrete mix, it can develop almost same 28 day strength as ordinary Portland cement. At higher GGBS percentages the increased cementitious content may lead achieve equivalent 28 day strength much faster. GGBS concrete gains strength more steadily than equivalent concrete made with Portland cement.
replacement of cement with GGBS on strength development of concrete and cured under summer and winter curing environments is established. Three levels of cement substitution i.e., 30%, 40% and 50% have been selected. Early-age strength of GGBS concrete is lower than the normal PC concrete which limits its use in the
21-05-2017· Thus, the use of SRC with GGBS is not prohibited; but the points above justify the use of OPC and GGBS blend rather than a SRC/MSRPC and GGBS blend in concrete. Published By Manas Singh (BE, EMBA ...
GGBS is used to make durable concrete structures in combination with ordinary Portland cement. GGBS concrete has slightly slower strength development at early ages. At 7 days GGBS concretes will have 50 to 60% of its characteristic strength compared. At 28 days GGBS concrete may fully
GGBS Compressive Strength at 7 days Compressive Strength at 28 days 0% (Normal concrete) 17.94 30.8 20% 24.74 39.25 40% 20.07 36.4 The above Table 5.1 gives the compressive strength of the concrete when the cement is replaced with GGBS at the proportions of 0 %, 20 %, 40% with cement after the curing period of 7 Days and 28 Days.
Among the nine different combination the maximum compressive strength of concrete is achieved by using AL10% and GGBS 30% is 38.08 N/mm 2. C60A10G30 is 28.76% higher than the control mix. Result shows that concrete incorporating alccofine and GGBS have higher compressive strength and alccofine enhanced the durability of concrete also.
19-04-2015· Strength characteristics of cement concrete with partial replacement of OPC by GGBS ... and silica fume and why do we use them in concrete ... TEST FOR COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE ...
As the technology keeps on growing day by da, it helps in the development of our nation, but at the same time it damages our surrounding environment too. Concrete, which is the most important construction material, has some limited properties such as
01-09-2020· According to the results of the parametric study, the concrete strength increased with increasing SF, which is the opposite of the case of NZ. This can be attributed to the potential synergistic effect of the combination of SF and GGBS on the GPC strength, while the NZ replacement had a decreasing effect on compressive strength.
14-09-2019· I want to know. As per IS codes what is the maximum GGBS content i can add into concrete as a replacement of Cement. Can i add GGBS beyond the limit specified in IS code. This is important interview question, i want correct answer for it.
GGBS Concrete GGBS Proportions On its own, ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) hardens very slowly and, for use in concrete, it needs to be activated by combining it with Portland cement. A typical combination is 50% GGBS with 50% Portland cement, [4]but percentages of GGBS anywhere between 20 and 80 % are commonly used.

Studies on GGBS concrete bring remarkable social and economical benefits such as: reducing cost of per cube concrete; improving concrete performance and making full use of industry waste residue. The influence of GGBS mixture proportioning on concrete compressive strength and the bond characteristics between concrete and steel bar is experimentally studied in this paper.
GGBS Compressive Strength at 7 days Compressive Strength at 28 days 0% (Normal concrete) 17.94 30.8 20% 24.74 39.25 40% 20.07 36.4 The above Table 5.1 gives the compressive strength of the concrete when the cement is replaced with GGBS at the proportions of 0 %, 20 %, 40% with cement after the curing period of 7 Days and 28 Days.
(GGBS) show chemical properties similar to cement. Use of GGBS as cement replacement will simultaneously reduce cost of concrete and help to reduce rate of cement consumption. This study report of strength analysis of GGBS concrete will give assurance to encourage people working in the construction industry for the beneficial use of it.
Heat curing is one way to improve strength development at early ages at lower temperatures. On the other hand, GGBS concrete with a specific surface area of 800 m2/kg has no strength development problem at early ages, even when cured at 5 C, and heat curing seems to have a bad influence on strength development, particularly at later ages.
Concrete which contains GGBS cement gives higher final strengths than concrete made up of Portland cement. It is having strength enhancing metallic-elements in higher proportions. Concrete created with GGBS continues to develop the strength as the passes of time, and it had seen
10-09-1991· For example, partial replacement of Portland cement by GGBS generally increases the resistance of concrete to sulphate attack and chloride attack. The use of a minimum of 50% GGBS can be a suitable method of preventing alkali-silica reaction, if the alkalis are not contributed by sources other than cementitious materials.
