India is developing at a rapid rate with a result that demand for engineering materials is far more than the current pace of construction. With growing standards of living and the presence of multinationals in India, the expectations on quantity and quality have also increased. This has led to adaption of partial or full replacement materials in construction which reduces the consumption of the engineering materials and also increases the usage of eco-friendly materials which are meant to be the waste or end products of various industries like GGBS and fly-ash, thereby imparting them into the replacement genre of cement and increasing the efficiency of construction. All high-raised and eco-friendly buildings include these replacement materials on par with cement in order to have high strength characteristics. Now-a-days the green rating systems in India (like IGBC) and other parts of the world has given credits for using these eco-friendly materials which can be used as a partial replacement materials, one of such kinds are GGBS and Quarry dust .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
