STRENGTH ANALYSIS OF GGBS CEMENT WITH COCONUT FIBER

The infrastructure needs our country is increasing day by day & with Concrete is a main constituent of construction material in a significant portion of this infra-structural system, it is necessary to enhance its characteristics by means of strength & durability. When the cement is replaced with the GGBS, this GGBS provides the features like low heat of hydration, resistance to chemical attack, high compressive strength, better durability, and good workability and is also cost effective. This study shows the behaviour of GGBS based Concrete at the different molarity of NaOH like 4, 8, 10, 12, 14 etc and at different ratio of Na2SiO3/NaOH 0.5, 1, 1.5, and 2 respectively. This project work mainly focuses on advantages of GGBS as compared to the usage of cement and justification of certain properties like sustainability and durability. Study shows the hardened and gaining strength in Concrete in ambient temperature. To bring into focus the use of coconut fibers in Concrete and experimental program me was planned to study the material characteristics. The primary objective of this investigation is to study experimentally the properties of fibers. The properties of Concrete namely, compressive strength, were studied
