“…GGBFS was used in binary, ternary and quaternary blend concrete to study the performance of concrete in hardened state. Parameters like effect of water-binder ratio, curing conditions, age of concrete were studied [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Research works on GGBFS as partial replacement for cement in concrete reveal their suitability to act as a supplementary cementitious material imparting strength and corrosion resisting properties to concrete [15][16][17][18][19].…”

Production of high strength concrete with waste utilization attracted more attention of many researchers due to number of benefits in the present scenario. This paper discusses the effect of such waste utilization in strength, durability and structural behavior of high strength concrete by considerably replacing cement. Rice husk ash (RHA) (5 to 15%) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) (20 to 40%) were used as mineral admixtures in three different percentages. The range of replacement of cement with this dual mixture was kept 25% as minimum and 55% as maximum. Strength parameters such as compression & flexure and durability parameters such as sorptivity, porosity and freeze-thaw were studied. All the tests were conducted as per ASTM standards. Ten combinations of ternary mix were tested and among them mix with 30% GGBFS and 5% RHA exhibited better performance at par with control concrete by compromising characteristic compressive strength to an extent of 5%. It also yields better performance in terms of durability characteristics. Hence it was concluded that it could be possible to produce high strength concrete with 35% replacement of cement either with 20% of GGBFS and 15% of RHA or 30% of GGBFS and 5% of RHA.

“…The beneficial effects of modifying concrete composites by SF in an amount up to 10%, e.g., [ 15 , 21 , 50 ], are also well known. However, in the presented experiments, it is planned to examine the interaction of pozzolanic additives and to assess their synergies in relation to the improvement of the fracture toughness of concretes containing ternary binders, e.g., [ 27 , 38 , 40 ]. For this purpose, we proposed proprietary concrete mixes, which had not been used before.…”

“…Innovative hybrid techniques are increasingly used based on the synergy of interconnected components. Examples of modern materials are binary, ternary, quaternary or even quinary binders with mineral additives [ 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. Such materials also include composites that are the subject of this article, i.e., FA cements with the addition of SF, e.g., [ 40 ].…”

This paper presents the results of the fracture toughness of concretes containing two mineral additives. During the tests, the method of loading the specimens according to Mode I fracture was used. The research included an evaluation of mechanical parameters of concrete containing noncondensed silica fume (SF) in an amount of 10% and siliceous fly ash (FA) in the following amounts: 0%, 10% and 20%. The experiments were carried out on mature specimens, i.e., after 28 days of curing and specimens at an early age, i.e., after 3 and 7 days of curing. In the course of experiments, the effect of adding SF to the value of the critical stress intensity factor—KIcS in FA concretes in different periods of curing were evaluated. In addition, the basic strength parameters of concrete composites, i.e., compressive strength—fcm and splitting tensile strength—fctm, were measured. A novelty in the presented research is the evaluation of the fracture toughness of concretes with two mineral additives, assessed at an early age. During the tests, the structures of all composites and the nature of macroscopic crack propagation were also assessed. A modern and useful digital image correlation (DIC) technique was used to assess macroscopic cracks. Based on the conducted research, it was found the application of SF to FA concretes contributes to a significant increase in the fracture toughness of these materials at an early age. Moreover, on the basis of the obtained test results, it was found that the values of the critical stress intensity factor of analyzed concretes were convergent qualitatively with their strength parameters. It also has been demonstrated that in the first 28 days of concrete curing, the preferred solution is to replace cement with SF in the amount of 10% or to use a cement binder substitution with a combination of additives in proportions 10% SF + 10% FA. On the other hand, the composition of mineral additives in proportions 10% SF + 20% FA has a negative effect on the fracture mechanics parameters of concretes at an early age. Based on the analysis of the results of microstructural tests and the evaluation of the propagation of macroscopic cracks, it was established that along with the substitution of the cement binder with the combination of mineral additives, the composition of the cement matrix in these composites changes, which implies a different, i.e., quasi-plastic, behavior in the process of damage and destruction of the material.

“…Combined use of 30% light weight sand and 7 days of moist curing can lead to greater increase in compressive strength and larger decrease in total shrinkage compared to the use of 30% light weight sand without moist curing or 7 days of moist curing without light weight sand. K.chinnaraju et al [74] conducted an Experimental test programme to study the effect of fly ash, GGBS and silica fume on High Performance Concrete with W/B ratio 0.32. The control concrete mixture of grade M60 included only ordinary Portland cement as binder and other mixtures incorporated binary (PC + flyash, PC + GGBS, C + SF), ternary (PC + flyash + GGBS, C + flyash + SF, PC + GGBS + SF) and quaternary (PC + flyash + GGBS + SF) cementitious blends were designed.…”
