This paper presents a laboratory investigation on optimum level of Fly ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) as a partial replacement of cement to study the strength characteristics of concrete. Portland cement was partially replaced by 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10% of GGBS and Fly ash by 20%, 40%, 60% respectively. The water to cementations materials ratio was maintained at 0.45 for all mixes. The strength characteristics of the concrete were evaluated by conducting Compressive strength test, Splitting Tensile strength test and Flexural strength test. The compression strength test were conducted for 7days and 28days of curing and split tensile strength test and flexural strength test were conducted for 28days of curing on a M25 grade concrete. The mix proportion M25 was found to be 1:1.36:2.71.The test results proved that the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete mixtures containing GGBS and Fly ash increases as the amount of GGBS and Fly ash increase. After an optimum point, at around 9% of GGBS and 40% of Fly ash of the total binder content, the further addition of GGBS and fly ash does not improve the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength.

EXPERIMENTAL BEHAVIOUR OF SELF COMPACTING CONCRETE USING GGBS WITH PARTIAL RE...Ijripublishers Ijri
Concrete is Most widely used construction Material in the Modern Era because of its good Compressive strength and
high durability. As we know Concrete comprises a Mixture of cement, sand (fine aggregate), course aggregate and water
which makes up normal plain concrete, to increase the strength of concrete we can design the mix with greater Flexibility,
but the problems Arises in structure as load age, increaseof floors which demands increase of high strength concrete
and more steel. So, especially at the beams, columns joints heavy reinforcement meshing is done so that it becomes If
the concrete is not compacted then strength may not be achieved, so the solution for the problem is SCC which we call
it asself-compacting concrete. Were this SCC has ability to compact by itself Gravity and self-flow ability same strength
can be Here in the research, it is carried out self-compaction concrete to improve strength & make concrete economical

DURABILITY STUDIES OF GGBS AND METAKAOLIN BASED GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE Ijciet 08...IAEME Publication
The objective of this research work was to produce a carbon dioxide emission free cementious
material. The geopolymer concrete is such a vital and promising one. In this study, geopolymer is
prepared from ‘Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag’ (GGBS) a powder from grinding the byproduct
of slag waste from blast furnace of steel plants and metakaolin from industry. The Alkaline
liquids used in this study for the polymerization process are the solutions of sodium hydroxide
(NaoH) and sodium silicate (Na2Sio3).A 8 Molarity and 10 Molarity solutions was taken to prepare
the mix. The cube compressive strength was calculated for different mixes. The cube specimens are
taken of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm. Ambient curing of concrete at room temperature was
adopted. In total 180 cubes were casted for their compressive strength at age of 28 days
respectively. The test data indicate that on exposure to 5% Sodium Sulphate, Sulphuric Acid and
Sodium Chloride, the losses in weight, and strength of geopolymer concrete (GPC) are
significantly much less than those for cement concrete. Thus the geopolymer concrete is considered
to be an environmentally pollution free construction material.

The objective of this paper is to study the properties of fresh and hardened self compacting concrete with varied percentages of metakaolin as mineral admixture (M40 grade). In this study cement is replaced by metakoalin with varied percentages, 20%, 22%, 24%, 26%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 34%, 36% & 38% with a constant packing factor of 1.14. In the present study, B233 GLENIUM super plasticizer is used. As per the European guidelines for Self-compacting concrete, the workability tests such as slump flow test, V-funnel test and L- box, U-box test were carried out in laboratory. The concrete specimens were cured in the tank for 7 and 28 days and tested for determining the compressive strength and split tensile strength and flexural strength respectively. From the study it is observed that workability and mechanical properties such as Compressive strength, Split tensile strength and Flexural strength test increased with increase in metakoalin up to 30% and decreased from 32% to 38%. Non Destructive Test is also performed to assess the quality of concrete in the hardened state.
An Experimental Investigation on Strength Characteristics of Concrete with Pa...ijsrd.com
One of the approaches in improving the durability of concrete is to use blended cement materials such as fly ash, silica fume, slag and more recently, metakaolin. By changing the chemistry and microstructure of concrete, pozzolans reduce the capillary porosity of the cementitious system and make them less permeable to exterior chemical sources as well as reducing the internal chemical incompatilities such as alkali-silica reaction. The concrete industry is known to leave an enormous environmental footprint on Planet Earth. First, there are the sheer volumes of material needed to produce the billions of tons of concrete worldwide each year. Then there are the CO2 emissions caused during the production of Portland cement. Together with the energy requirements, water consumption and generation of construction and demolition waste, these factors contribute to the general appearance that concrete is not particularly environmentally friendly or compatible with the demands of sustainable development. Thus, use of these supplementary cementitious materials can reduce the effects of cement causing severe environmental impact. This study presents the results of different mechanical properties of concrete such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural concrete by partially replacing cement with metakaolin and silica fume. The replacement of metakaolin is varied from 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and silica fume from 6%, 8% and 10%. The property of concrete in fresh state that is the workability is also studied during the present investigation. The optimum doses of silica fume and metakaolin in combination were found to be 6% and 15% (by weight) respectively, when used as part replacement of ordinary Portland cement.

Effect of Steel Fiber on Alkali activated Fly Ash ConcreteIJERA Editor
Concrete is the world’s most important Construction material so the demand of cement is increases. The
production of cement is highly energy intensive & the production on one ton of cement liberates about one ton
of CO2 to atmosphere. The contribution of cement industry to the greenhouse gas emission is estimated to be
about 70% of the total green gas emission. Also it consumes large amount of natural resources. Hence it is
essential to find alternative to cement. Geopolymer concrete is an innovative material in which the binder is
produced but the reaction of an alkaline liquid with a source material that is rich in silica alumina.
The present work deals with the result of the experimental investigation carried out on geopolymer concrete
using steel fiber. The study analyses the effect of steel on compressive strength. Geopolymer concrete mixes
were prepared using low calcium fly ash & activated by alkaline solution. (NaOH & Na2SiO3) with alkaline
liquid to fly ash ratio of 0.35 Alkaline solution. Used for present study combination of sodium hydroxide &
sodium silicate with ratio 2.5. The mix was designed for molarity of 16M & grade chosen for investigation was
M30. Hooked end steel fiber . All tests were conducted according to IS-code procedure. The result for each
variation are tabulated & discussed in details & some important conclusions are made.

In this study the Class F fly ash used in various proportions 20 to 35%, alccofine 4 to 14% and silica fume 4% to 14% by weight of cement. The mix proportions of concrete had a water binder ratio for Alccofine mix concrete 0.30 and Silica-fume mix concrete 0.32.super plasticizer was added based on the required degree of workability. The total binder content was 600 kg/m3. The concrete specimens were cured on normal moist curing under normal atmospheric temperature. The compressive strength was determined at 7 , 28 , 56 days and flexural strength was determined at 28 and 56 days The results indicate the concrete made with these proportions generally show excellent fresh and hardened properties. The addition of Alccofine, silica fume shows early strength gaining property and that of fly ash shows a long term strength. The ternary system that is Portland cement-fly ash-Alccofine concrete was found to increase the compressive strength of concrete on all age when compared to concrete made with Portland cement-fly ash-silica fume.
Evaluating The Strength Gain And Structural Properties Of Self-Compacting Con...ijcite
Self-compacting concrete is identified as “highly flow able” and stable
concrete that can spread readily into place and fill the formwork without
any vibration and without undergoing any significant segregation. The
design of concrete mix is not a simple task on account of widely varying
properties of the constituent materials and many factors affect its target
value. The mix design problem is a multi-characteristic optimization
problem. However, in the present work, the problem is considered to the
single characteristic optimization problem and the characteristic to be
optimized strength of concrete. In the present paper, Okamora technique
has been applied to obtain optimum of SCC mix design to get the
mechanical and structural strength of concrete and cement is replaced
by GGBS and fine aggregate is replaced by Robo sand and the
experimentation work includes the fresh properties tests on SCC to know
the characteristic behaviour and the hardened properties of SCC is
determined to know the compression strength, split tensile strength,
flexural strength of beams and durability properties.

Making model of dual axis solar tracking with Maximum Power Point Trackingijsrd.com
Now a days solar harvesting is more popular. As the popularity become higher the material quality and solar tracking methods are more improved. There are several factors affecting the solar system. Major influence on solar cell, intensity of source radiation and storage techniques The materials used in solar cell manufacturing limit the efficiency of solar cell. This makes it particularly difficult to make considerable improvements in the performance of the cell, and hence restricts the efficiency of the overall collection process. Therefore, the most attainable maximum power point tracking method of improving the performance of solar power collection is to increase the mean intensity of radiation received from the source used. The purposed of tracking system controls elevation and orientation angles of solar panels such that the panels always maintain perpendicular to the sunlight. The measured variables of our automatic system were compared with those of a fixed angle PV system. As a result of the experiment, the voltage generated by the proposed tracking system has an overall of about 28.11% more than the fixed angle PV system. There are three major approaches for maximizing power extraction in medium and large scale systems. They are sun tracking, maximum power point (MPP) tracking or both.

Reducing Silicon Real Estate and Switching Activity Using Low Power Test Patt...ijsrd.com
Power dissipation is a challenging problem for today's system-on-chip design and test. This paper presents a novel architecture which generates the test patterns with reduced switching activities; it has the advantage of low test power and low hardware overhead. The proposed LP-TPG (test pattern generator) structure consists of modified low power linear feedback shift register (LP-LFSR), m-bit counter, gray counter, NOR-gate structure and XOR-array. The seed generated from LP-LFSR is EXCLUSIVE-OR ed with the data generated from gray code generator. The XOR result of the sequence is single input changing (SIC) sequence, in turn reduces the switching activity and so power dissipation will be very less. The proposed architecture is simulated using Modelsim and synthesized using Xilinx ISE9.2.The Xilinx chip scope tool will be used to test the logic running on FPGA.
Defending Reactive Jammers in WSN using a Trigger Identification Service.ijsrd.com
In the last decade, the greatest threat to the wireless sensor network has been Reactive Jamming Attack because it is difficult to be disclosed and defend as well as due to its mass destruction to legitimate sensor communications. As discussed above about the Reactive Jammers Nodes, a new scheme to deactivate them efficiently is by identifying all trigger nodes, where transmissions invoke the jammer nodes, which has been proposed and developed. Due to this identification mechanism, many existing reactive jamming defending schemes can be benefited. This Trigger Identification can also work as an application layer .In this paper, on one side we provide the several optimization problems to provide complete trigger identification service framework for unreliable wireless sensor networks and on the other side we also provide an improved algorithm with regard to two sophisticated jamming models, in order to enhance its robustness for various network scenarios.

Abstract— This paper presents a laboratory investigation on
optimum level of Fly ash and Ground Granulated Blast
Furnace Slag (GGBS) as a partial replacement of cement to
study the strength characteristics of concrete. Portland
cement was partially replaced by 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%,
10% of GGBS and Fly ash by 20%, 40%, 60% respectively.
The water to cementations materials ratio was maintained at
0.45 for all mixes. The strength characteristics of the
concrete were evaluated by conducting Compressive
strength test, Splitting Tensile strength test and Flexural
strength test. The compression strength test were conducted
for 7days and 28days of curing and split tensile strength test
and flexural strength test were conducted for 28days of
curing on a M25 grade concrete. The mix proportion M25 was
found to be 1:1.36:2.71.The test results proved that the
compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural
strength of concrete mixtures containing GGBS and Fly ash
increases as the amount of GGBS and Fly ash increase.
After an optimum point, at around 9% of GGBS and 40% of
Fly ash of the total binder content, the further addition of
GGBS and fly ash does not improve the compressive
strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength.
Key words: GGBS, Fly ash, concrete.
I. INTRODUCTION
Concrete is a strong and durable material that has been
utilized since 19th
century. It is understood that many of the
early structures are deteriorating or have already
deteriorated away, however with the knowledge of the
material properties of concrete that is available, it is hard to
imagine that concrete structures is prematurely failing
before their intended service life. There are many factors
involved in these failures, some of which are due to
environmental conditions and others, which have arisen
from human errors or lack of knowledge. These are
controllable human factors that must be minimized in order
to have concrete perform for the duration of its intended
services life. Early age properties of concrete are vital to its
long-term performance. Many engineers are interested on
the strength of concrete in 28 days that they overlook the
importance of other early age issue especially when the mix
design has water to cementitious material ratio (w/c) lower
than 0.42. It has shown that for complete hydration of the
cement, the w/c ratio should be 0.42 and above. As the w/c
ratio decreases below 0.42, the cement undergoes self-
desiccation which leads to autogenously shrinkage. Concrete
is generally classified as Normal Strength Concrete (NSC),
High Strength Concrete (HSC) and Ultra High Strength
Concrete (UHSC). There is no clear cut boundary for the
above classification. Indian Standard Recommended
Methods of Mix Design denotes the boundary of 35 Mpa
between NSC and HSC. They did not talk about UHSC. But
elsewhere in the international forum, about thirty years ago,
the high strength label was applied to concrete having
strength above 40 Mpa. More recently, the threshold rose to
55 Mpa as per IS 456-2000.
II. LITERATURE REVIEW
A. Swamy. et.al. (1983):
Extensive investigations have been carried out by Swamy et.
al.(1983) on the properties in the fresh and hardened state of
Fly ash concrete containing normal weight and light weight
aggregate suitable for structural application. The mixes were
proportioned to have one-day strength comparable with
concrete without Fly ash, possessing adequate cohesiveness
and workability to enable them to be compacted into place
easily in structural members. The authors have after
conducting extensive tests on reinforced concrete structural
members with Fly ash and without Fly ash concluded that
reinforced Fly ash concrete in beams and slabs exhibit
structural performance similar to that of conventional
concrete with adequate safety factor and predicted by
existing codes. The authors have concluded on the basis of
the data presented with Fly ash of controlled quality,
structural concrete constructions can be designed to
incorporate Fly ash up to 30 percent by weight of cement
and that Fly ash concrete characteristic were in no way
different from these of comparable normal concrete.[1]
B. Anand Kumar B .G. (2012):
The best way to dispose any waste material (fly ash) is to
use it as one or the other forms like construction material.
In developed countries electrostatic precipitators collects fly
ash, which leads to greater fineness. Hence it shows good
pozzolonic activity. So it can be used as part replacement of
cement. The effective utilization of fly ash in any field is
possible only when a study of physical, chemical and
mineralogical properties of the particular fly ash available is
done. The properties will vary from plant to plant and with
in a plant the source of collection. It was decided to use the
fly ash of Raichur thermal power station in Karnataka in the
present work. With the study on the strength development
on various high volume fly ash concrete ( with at least 50 %
fly ash as binder) mixes, the following conclusions can be
drawn.
High volume fly ash concrete can be developed
using GGBS upto 70% of fly ash as binder.
As the GGBS content increases the workability
reduces at the same water containing and w/c.
With a combination of 70% fly ash 10 % of GGBS
and remaining quantity of binder compressive
Strength of 15MPa can be achieved.
The cost of concrete may reduce up to 20% for high
strength concrete, and about 45 % for lower
Strength concrete.[2]

III. MATERIAL AND ITS PROPERTIES
A. Cement:
Cement in general can be defined as a material which
possesses very good adhesive and cohesive properties which
make it possible to bond with other materials to form
compact mass. Locally available Ordinary Portland cement
of 53 grade of the ACC cement Branch conforming to ISI
standards has been procured, and following tests have been
carried out according IS:8112-1989. The Chemical
Compositions and Physical properties of OPC are shown in
table 1 & 2.
Table 1: Chemical Compositions (%) of OPC
Table 2: Physical properties of OPC
B. Fine Aggregates (F.A):
Locally available river sand which is free from organic
impurities is used. Sand passing through sieve is 4.75mm
and retaining on IS sieve 150µ is used in the investigation.
Care shall be taken to ensure that the sieves are clean before
use. (IS: 2386 (Part-I) – 1963). Physical Properties of Fine

D. Fly ash:
It is most commonly used as a pozzolan in PCC
applications. Pozzolans are siliceous or siliceous and
aluminous material, which in a finely divided form and in
the presence of water, react with calcium hydroxide at
ordinary temperatures to produce cementitious compounds.
Particle size of fly ash varies from 1µm to 100µm in
diameter with more than 50% under 20µm.
E. Fly Ash in Portland Cement Concrete:
Fly ash can be used in portland cement concrete to enhance
the performance of the concrete. Portland cement is
manufactured with calcium oxide (CaO), some of which is
released in a free state during hydration. As much as 20
pounds of free lime is released during hydration of 100
pounds of cement. The Chemical Composition (%) and

G. Water (IS: 456-2000):
Water used for mixing and curing is clean and free from
injurious amount of oils, acids, alkalis, salts, sugar, organic
materials or other substances that may be deleterious to
concrete. Potable water is used for mixing concrete.
H. Casting and Curing of Control Specimen:
For each mix three cubes of 150mm x 150mm x 150mmin
size, three cylinders of 150mm diameter and 300m height,
three prisms of 100mm x 100mm x 500mm, were cast using
steel moulds. The caste specimens were kept in ambient
temperature for 24 hours. After 24 hours they were
demoulded and placed in water for curing. Cubes are used to
determine the compressive strength of concrete for 7 days
and 28 days. Three cylinders were used to determine the
split tensile strength of concrete for 28 days. Three prisms
were used to determine the Flexural strength of concrete
for 28 days by two point bending test with a supporting
span, using universal testing machine of capacity 1000kN.

IV. RESULTS & DISCUSSION
A. Tests on Fresh Concrete
1) Workability Characteristics
Slump Cone Test: The slump cone is cleaned and
the inside surface of the cone is oiled thoroughly. It
is then placed on a level surface and placing the
slump cone inside the sheet metal cylindrical pot of
the consistometer. The concrete is then filled into
the cone in four layers. Each layer is tamped 25
times with standard 16 mm tamping rod. After
filling the cone completely, the initial height of the
cone is noted, and then the cone is lifted without
disturbing it. Final reading corresponding to the
decrease in height of the centre of the slumped
concrete is noted down.
Compaction Factor Test: The degree of
compaction, called the compaction factor, is
measured by the density ratio i.e., the ratio of the
density actually achieved in the test to the density
of the same concrete fully compacted. Results
shown in table 9.

B. Tests on Hardened Concrete
Tests for Compressive Strength: The compressive
strength of concrete for cubes, all mixes at 7 and 28
days of curing is presented in table 10. Only 3
cubes were casted for various percentage
replacements of cement by FA and GGBS. The
result shows that the Compressive strength
increased with addition of fly ash up to 40% and
GGBS up to 9% replace by weight of cement and
further any addition of FA and GGBS the
compressive strength decreases. The initial strength
gradually decreases from 60% FA and GGBS 10%.
At 40% and 9% there is 28% increase in initial
compressive strength for 7 days and there is 24%
increase in initial compressive strength for 28 days.
It is represented in Figure 1 which shows the
Comparison and Effect of curing on compressive
strength of M25 Grade.

Split Tensile strength of Cylinders are increased
with addition of fly ash up to 40% and GGBS up to
9% replace by weight of cement and further any
addition of FA and GGBS the Split Tensile
strength decreases. At 40% and 9% there is 25%
increase in initial split tensile strength for 28 days.
It is represented in Figure 2 which shows the Effect
of curing on split tensile strength of M25Grade .
Tests for Flexural Strength: The flexural strength of
concrete for prisms, all mixes at 28 days of curing
is presented in table 12. Only 3 prisms were casted
for various percentage replacements of cement by
FA and GGBS. The flexure strength of prisms are
increased with addition of fly ash up to 40% and
GGBS up to 9% replace by weight of cement and
further any addition of FA and GGBS the flexural
