Experimental Study on Precast Concrete by Partial-Replacement of Cement with GroundGranulated Blast Slag (Gabs)

Abstract

Precast Concrete plays a vital role in development of infrastructure i.e. buildings, industrial structures with pace and good quality of construction with efficient quality control. On the other side cost of concrete is attributed to cost of its production which is direct cause of production of equal amount of carbon dioxide. This requirement is drawn the attention of investigators to explore a new replacement of ingredients of concrete. This study focuses on investigation of characteristics of precast concrete with partial replacement of cement with ground-granulated blast slag (GGBS) and attaining early strength inorder to facilitate timely demould of concrete so as to make effective use of the mould. The study involves the usage of GGBS, is advantage or disadvantage in concrete. This usage of GGBS serves as replacement to already depleting conventional building material and also as being a by-product it serves as an eco-friendly way of utilizing the product without dumping it on ground.
