Abstract


Cement is one of the most extensive materials used in the construction industry. It was estimated that the production of 1 ton of cement produces 1 ton of carbon dioxide which results in increase in the emission of green-house gases. With the advancements in research, the utilization of mineral admixtures like fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume, metakaolin, sugar cane bagasse ash, rice husk ash are reduces the use of cement and also the effective utilization of waste byproducts in which the disposal is a major problem in the regard of environmental pollution. According to considering all the above issues a research work was done to study the effect of binary blending of mineral admixtures on the fresh & hardened properties M35 grade concrete were studied and reported. Also an analytical equation was proposed between compressive and flexural strength of concrete on par with IS:456-2000 and a good agreement was found between them.
