New Building and Construction Findings from PSG College of Technology Described (Pozzolanic Evaluation of Portland Cement Blended With Agro-industrial By-products: an Experimental and Thermodynamic Modeling Technique)

2024 AUG 01 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Daily Real Estate News -- Research findings on Building and Construction are discussed

Article Description

This article examines the pozzolanic performance of Portland cement blended with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and bagasse Ash (BA). The effect of different water to binder ratios in cementitious composites is analyzed through the hydration process of the proposed mixes using thermodynamic modeling and experimental technique. The hydration of the composites involves the formation of Portlandite, calcium-silicate hydrate (C-S-H), ettringite and monosulfoaluminate (AFm) at 28 days. The results of thermodynamic modeling are compared with compressive strength, dry density, Frattini, lime saturation and strength activity index tests. Portland cement blended with GGBS attained better pozzolanic activity with 0.4 and 0.5 water to binder ratios than admixed BA under all types of testing. The compressive strength of GGBS blended mixes with water to binder ratios of 0.4 and 0.5 attained 51.5 MPa and 44.458 MPa, respectively, at 28 days, which are 20.778% and 12.128% higher compared to BA blended mixes.
