MATERIALS AND THEIR PROPERTIES
Ground granular Blast Furnace slag
Good workability which helps in better placing and compaction.
High resistance to chloride attack which reduces the risk of corrosion in concrete.
Good sustainability.
Foundry Sand
Polypropylene fibres
Polypropylene is the lightest of all fibres.
Polypropylene yields the greatest volume of fibre for a given weight.
 OBJECTIVE OF THE PROJECT

To draw a comparison between the behaviour and strength characteristics of control

mix and the experimental samples.

Mix design computed using IS 10262:2019

 Method for determining optimum dosages of
ggbs and foundry sand
A quick method for attaining the optimum dosages of ggbs and foundry sand to avoid lot of trials of casting

Coarse agg fine aggregate foundry sand cement ggbs

 Optimum content of ggbs
Since the weight obtained is more in 36% of GGBS, we are fixing the optimum content of GGBS to
be added as 36% and the weight obtained is 6.38kg.
Optimum dosage of foundry sand
Since the weight obtained is more in 45% of foundry sand, we are fixing the optimum content of
foundry sand to be added as 45% and the weight obtained is 6.45kg.

So Optimum percentage of GGBS= 36/2=18%

Optimum percentage of foundry sand=45/2=22%
 Casting of control mix
We have casted 6 samples of cubes,beams,cylinders
We have used machine mixer for casting
Casting of partially replaced samples
We have hand mixed the entire mix because of the permeability of the ggbs it is very tough to
machine mix and we don’t get proper mix so we did hand mix
Testing and results
CONCLUSIONS:

• The replacement of the Foundry sand and ground granulated blast furnace slag didn’t give desirable results
for 7days and 14days compressive strength.
• The optimum % replacement of Ground granulated blast furnace slag was 18%.
• The optimum % replacement of foundry sand was 22%.
• Desired workability is achieved without addition of any admixtures.
