Experimental Studies on Concrete with Bentonite as Mineral Admixture
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
The present investigation deals with effect of bentonite clay on concrete. The concrete was produced by partial replacement of OPC with mineral admixture bentonite clay in percentages of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. The M20 grade of concrete was designed. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength were found for the specimens. The present investigation is to study the effect of bentonite clay on concrete. The results indicate that the concrete with 5% Bentonite Clay replacement shows better performance when compared to other samples. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength at 5% bentonite clay replacement and it was less for the remaining samples.
