To Evaluate Performance of Ternary Blended Concrete with Fly Ash and Silica Fume

The use of fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) as replacements to ordinary Portland cement (OPC) with Superplasticizer (SP) makes the Ternary blended concrete less permeable to harmful ions due to its finer particle size distribution and pozzolanic reaction. Concrete is a unique construction material possessing superior strength and durability characteristics. A large number of structures have come up in the past few decades. Approximately a ton of CO2 is released into the atmosphere during the production of 1 ton of cement. Substantial energy and cost savings can result when industrial byproducts are used as a partial replacement of cement. Such as fly ash, rice husk ash, high-reactive metakaolin, and silica fume are some of the pozzolanic materials that can be used in concrete as a partial replacement of cement. Hence it is required to study the performance of Ternary blended concrete with fly ash and silica fume with durability aspect and reduction in cement production.
