Parametric study of concrete by using agricultural waste and ground granulated blast -furnace (GGBFS): A Review

This study explores the feasibility of incorporating agricultural waste and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBFS) in M-25 grade concrete to enhance sustainability and mechanical properties. Agricultural waste materials, such as coconut shell and powdered glass, are used as partial replacements for conventional aggregates and cement. GGBFS, a pozzolanic material, improves concrete strength and durability through a secondary hydration reaction. The research includes material characterization, mix design, and testing of fresh and hardened concrete for compressive, split tensile, and flexural strengths. By analyzing various replacement proportions, the study aims to determine the optimal mix for enhanced performance. The findings contribute to cost-effective, eco-friendly concrete solutions while promoting waste utilization in construction.
