Experimental analysis of quaternary cement binder

Abstract

As concrete structure emitted large amount of carbon dioxide in the environment, to reduce these emition, need to minimize use of cement by using supplementary cementious material such as fly ash, silica fume, rice husk, ground granulated blast furnace slag etc. As quaternary blended cement concrete is prepared by replacing of cement with cementious material is good option for this. In this research quaternary blended cement concrete prepared by using supplementary cementious material such as FA, GGBS, and SF. The quaternary cement blended was prepared for previously determine proportion by replacing 50-60 percent of ordinary Portland cement by weight.  The water cement kept constant as 0.4 for all the mix. The test was carried to define the strenght characteristics of quaternary blended cement concrete at age of 7, 28 and 56 days and that result compare with conventional concrete. The result with 40 and 50 percent replacement shows good compressive strength. Flexural strength and split tensile strength of quaternary concrete increases significantly than conventional concrete.
