Abstract

Concrete is a composite material consisting of aggregates, binding material, water and admixtures. It is the most widely used construction material on earth. One of the major environmental concerns is the disposal of the waste materials and utilization of industrial by products. Lime stone quarries will produce millions of tons waste dust powder every year. Having considerable high degree of fineness in comparision to cement this material may be utilized as a partial replacement to cement. For this purpose an experiment is conducted to investigate the possibility of using lime stone powder in the production of SCC with combined use GGBS. This paper is a study on loss of workability, strength and property correlation between paste and concrete for various admixture and superplasticiser dosages. The mineral admixtures considered are Lime stone powder and GGBS(Ground granulated blast furnace slag) with superplasticiser Masterglenium SKY 8233.Test results shows that the SCC mix with combination of 30% GGBS and 15% limestone powder gives maximum compressive strength and fresh properties are also in the limits prescribed by the EFNARC.
