• Project Title: Usage of GGBS as a partial replacement for cement in Self-Compacting Concrete.Description
• The main objective of the project is to decrease the composition of cement in the concrete, with GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag), a waste material (slag) obtained in the production of steel.
• Researched in-depth, both the mechanical durability properties of this concrete for its extensive industrial usage.
• We have also replaced river sand with manufactured quarry sand with the view of sustainable future scenario.Accomplishment.
• Scheduled and co-ordinated the research project on the effect of Furnace Slag as a partial replacement for Ordinary Portland Cement in Self Compacting Concrete.
• Familiarized myself with the process of mix design, casting concrete samples and conducting various job specific mechanical and durability tests on concrete.
