Author Description
Research works are being carried out focusing on incorporating waste material from different industries in concrete as partial or full replacements of cement, coarse aggregate, or fine aggregates in whichever manner they see potential in. In this paper, emphasis is given on the partial replacement of cement with alccofine 1203. In this study, an experimental investigation is conducted to study the changes in the physical properties of concrete when alccofine 1203 is used in the concrete mix as a partial substitute for cement. This paper also aims at studying the effect in the properties of alccofine concrete mix that are caused when it is subjected to different types of curing regimes. For this study, a concrete mix of M35 grade is prepared and the proportion of alccofine in the concrete mix as a substitute material for cement is gradually increased at a rate of 5% i.e, concrete mix with 0%,5%,10%,15% & 20% alccofine measured by weight of cement. For the purpose of studying the early strength gain development, the cube samples were tested at ages of 3 days, 7 days and 28 day for compressive strength while for the flexural strength the beam samples were tested at the age of 28 days. All the concrete samples made with different replacement proportions were then subjected to three different curing regimes separately. According to data obtained from this experiment, it indicates that there is overall increase in the strength of the concrete mix. Also water immersion curing gave the best results
Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This paper investigates the impact of incorporating Alccofine1203 as a partial cement replacement on the physical properties of concrete, examining its performance under various curing conditions. The study details the experimental methodology for preparing concrete mixes of M35 grade with Alccofine1203 replacing cement at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by weight. It focuses on assessing the changes in compressive strength at 3, 7, and 28 days, and flexural strength at 28 days, for samples subjected to three distinct curing regimes.
THE SCOPE MAP
- Experimental investigation into concrete properties with Alccofine1203 as a partial cement replacement.
- Preparation of M35 grade concrete mixes with varying Alccofine1203 replacement levels (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% by weight of cement).
- Testing of compressive strength at 3, 7, and 28 days for early strength gain analysis.
- Testing of flexural strength of beam samples at 28 days.
- Subjecting all concrete samples to three different curing regimes.
- Analysis of the effect of Alccofine1203 replacement and curing regimes on concrete properties.
- Identification of the optimal replacement percentage and curing method for enhanced concrete strength.
THE AUTHORITY PERSPECTIVE
The research presented in this paper offers a focused experimental analysis on the performance of concrete modified with Alccofine1203. The findings indicate a general increase in concrete strength with the inclusion of Alccofine1203, with water immersion curing yielding the most favorable results. This study contributes empirical data to the field of sustainable construction materials by exploring the use of industrial by-products in concrete formulations. The detailed experimental setup and results provide a basis for further investigation into optimizing concrete mix designs for improved mechanical properties.
