A STUDY ON MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF INDUSTRIAL BY PRODUCTS AS FINE AGGREGATE IN METAKAOLIN CEMENT CONCRETE

Abstract

From the study, it is understood that many research works have been done by using copper slag as individual replacement for sand. And also the researches have been done by replacing cement by individual GGBS and metakaolin or the blends of these two materials. There are no studies available by combining these three materials together to improve the mechanical performance of concrete. Hence in this paper, the above three materials copper slag, GGBS and metakaolin are simultaneously replaced in concrete mixture for sand and cement respectively. And also1this paper presents, ternary replacement of1industrial wastes1for binder and fine aggregate was simultaneously replaced in each concrete mix to determine the strength of concrete. The merger effect of these ternary materials is investigated and the characteristics of concrete are upgraded more than individual or binary materials replacement.
