Experimental Investigation of M35 Grade Self Compaction Concrete by using Baggasse Ash as a Partial Replacement of Cement and Cupola Slag with Coarse Aggregate

Self-compacting concrete (SCC), a recent innovation in concrete technology, has numerous advantages over conventional concrete. Self-compacting concrete, as the name indicates, is a type of concrete that does not require external or internal compaction, because it becomes leveled and consolidated under its self-weight. SCC can spread and fill all corners of the formwork, purely by means of its self- weight, thus eliminating the need of vibration or any type of consolidating effort. In this project, Baggasse ash is replaced with cement and Cupola slag is replaced with coarse aggregate are studied. The physical properties of cupola slag and coarse aggregates are similar and physical properties of Baggasse ash and cement are similar. Both materials are eco-friendly building material. The problem of the disposal and maintenance problem of land filling is reduced. This study investigates the performance of concrete mixture in terms of Compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength for 7, 14 and 28 days respectively of M-35 grade concrete. This project deals with the self- compacting concrete where the replacement OPC by Baggasse ash were 20% by weight and Cupola slag by weight of Coarse Aggregates in various percentages such as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%.
