Experimental Study On Flexural Behaviour Of Geocement Concrete Beam

Concrete, a key construction material, combines cement, aggregates, water, and additives for strength and versatility in structures like high-rises and bridges.Its energy-intensive production raises environmental concerns.Sustainability efforts involve eco-friendly additives and local materials to mitigate environmental impact.Despite resilience against weathering and seismic forces, addressing environmental issues is imperative.Achieving a sustainable future in construction requires innovation and environmentally conscious practices to minimize concrete's environmental footprint while maintaining its essential role in shaping the built environment.For M30 grade concrete, a mix design was completed, and test specimens were created to determine the concrete's water absorption, split tensile strength, flexural strength and compressive strength.This study's experimental investigation on the durability and strength of concrete using optimum value of 75% geocement in replace of cement.This thesis report examines and reports on the effect of geocement on the development of concrete strength.After finding the optimum percentage of precious slag balls in concrete then the flexural behavior of concrete is also conducted.The test specimens were tested for the Flexural Behavior at the age of 28 days.The study investigated replacing geocement in concrete, improving workability and enhancing strength through GGBS activation.Mixes with 75% geocement and 25% OPC demonstrated flexural behaviour of the beam.The study compares the flexural behavior of conventional reinforcement concrete beams with the optimum ratio of geocement reinforcement concrete beam results.Utilizing ANSYS software to analyze comparisons between geocement and conventional reinforced concrete beams.
