Abstract
Development of new concrete technology & sustainability is the main concern to give the boost to the development of Recycle reactive powder concrete (RRPC). Optimum amount of Coarse Aggregate (CA) is need as a locally available materials to minimize the cost and incorporate with its huge applications. Due to the rise in current RRPC technology, the methods require costly material. In this paper illustrate the utility of using local dispersed materials with coarse aggregate which is used to reduce pollutants & enhanced the mechanical property. For the perhaps of using local dispersed material, this paper revisions the theoretical principles, raw materials, preparation techniques, curing procedure to get the proper replacement. The use of local dispersed materials such as ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS), waste Fly Ash (FA) & waste glass powder (GP) for partial/ full replacement of cement & silica fume that has been reduce the cost without affecting the strength. Furthermore, Coarse Aggregate is used for full replacement of silica sand to find-out the combined effect of coarse aggregate with RRPC. Locally available waste copper fibre was used as a replacement of steel fibre. Dumping of both waste GP and waste FA is one of the big environmental problems worldwide today. Therefore, the recycling of waste material has been accentuated to sustainable development.
Six types of mixing proportions were prepared & examined according to various mix proportions which was selected to investigate the mechanical properties. In addition, curing of cylinder & prisms at room temperature (280C) has been explored to regulate the mechanical property.
The result shows that using locally available dispersed materials with CA can produce a similar mechanical property to RRPC. However, the use of local dispersed materials with CA presents almost 10% lower performance, i.e. flexural strength, indirect tensile strength & compressive strength. Specimens cured at a room temperature (280C) present approximately 7% lower compressive strength, 20% higher indirect flexural strength & 10% lower flexural strength than specimens prepare without coarse aggregate & copper fibers.
