Comparison of Compressive Strength of Concrete by Partial Replacement of Cement with GGBS and Silica Fume with Sea Water Curing and Addition with Fibers

In construction world concrete plays a vital role, around 60% of structure consists of Concrete. However, the production of Portland cement, an essential constituent of concrete, leads to the release of significant amounts of CO2, depletion of natural resources and environmental degradation. This paper investigates the compressive strength of concrete by replacing cement with GGBS and silica fume effect of glass fibers on performance of concrete is studied. In this present work a humble attempt had been made to evaluate and compare the compressive strengths of GGBS blended concrete cubes with controlled concrete cubes cured under sea water for 28 days. By conducting the tests on the cubes, conclusions were drawn after plotting and analyzing the results. Compressive strength test is conducted on the samples after 28 days. The optimum value is obtained at 15% replacement with GGBS and 5% with Silica fume. In this study again we trailed addition with Glass fibers with the percentage of 0.5%,1.0%,1.5%, compressive strength have been studied. Finally at 1.0% addition we get maximum strength compared to controlled mix.
