Implication

Experimental study analyzes mechanical performance of concrete mixtures using industrial wastes and various water-binder ratios, suggesting improved sustainability.

Key Points

To investigate the mechanical performance of sustainable concrete with various industrial waste admixtures at different water-binder ratios.
Conducted tests on fifteen concrete mixtures with partial cement replacements of SF, FA, CCI, and CQ.
Evaluated compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths at 7, 28, and 90 days.
Applied three different water-to-binder ratios: 0.36, 0.41, and 0.46.
Lowest water-binder ratio (0.36) achieved highest strengths, with compressive strength reaching 78 MPa at 28 days.
FA replacement for SF improved 90-day compressive strength significantly by up to 30.4%.
CQ incorporation reduced strengths initially but provided long-term benefits, showing modest reductions at 90 days.
