 What is GGBS?
Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) is a byproduct of the
steel industry.
GGBS is a recyclable material created when the molten slag from
melted iron ore is quenched rapidly and then ground into a powder
In the production of iron, blast furnaces are loaded with iron ore, fluxing
agents, and coke. When the iron ore, which is made up of iron oxides,
silica, and alumina, comes together with the fluxing agents, molten slag
and iron are produced, which is produced in a 2700F blast furnace.
GGBS is a recyclable material created when the molten slag from
melted iron ore is quenched rapidly and then ground into a powder.

 What is Recycled Aggregate?
Recycled aggregate is produced by crushing concrete, and
sometime ashpalt, to reclaim the aggregate.
As aggregate represents about 70-80% of concrete components
so it will be beneficial to recycle the aggregate for construction
works and also to solve the environmental problems.
These materials resulted from destruction of buildings, roads,
bridges, and sometimes even from catastrophes, such as wars and
earthquakes.
To minimise the problem of excess of waste material it is a good
step to utilize the recycled aggregates provide that the desired
final product will meet the standards.

ADVANTAGES OF RECYCLING OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

Cost saving
There are no detrimental effects on concrete & it is expected that the increase in the cost of
cement could be offset by the lower cost of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA).

Save environment
There is no excavation of natural resources & less transportation.
Less land is required.
Less emission of carbon due to less crushing.

Save time
There is no waiting for material availability.

Job opportunity
Creates employment opportunities and economic activities in recycling industries
LIMITATIONS OR DISADVANTAGES OF RECYCLING
OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

Limitations or disadvantages of recycling of construction material:

Less quality (e.g. compressive strength reduces by 10-30%).
Duration of procurement of materials may affect life cycle of
project.
Land, special equipment machineries are required (more cost).
Very high water absorption (up to 6%).
It has higher drying shrinkage & creep.
NEED OF PROJECT
Reuse and Recycling of construction & demolition wastes seems workable solution
in rehabilitation and new constructions after the demolition of old construction.
Central Pollution Control Board has estimated 52 million tons per annum solid
waste generation in India out of which, 70-80 million tons are concrete and brick
waste.
Now a days the cost of aggregates have risen fastly over the past few years.
Production of cement emits CO2 in a harmful manner. About 7% of the worlds
CO2 emission is attributed to Portland cement industry.
Using recycled concrete from old demolished structure as a replacement to
aggregates is a good practice to conserve natural aggregates. Another practical
solutions to conserve natural resources is to use supplementary cementitious
material such as GGBS, fly ash, slag, silica fume etc as a replacement to
cement thereby the microstructure, mechanical and durability characteristics of
concrete can be improved.
AIM AND OBJECTIVES

To obtain compressive strength result of various mix designs of concrete

with recycled aggregates and replacement GGBS.
To conduct property test on cement, fine aggregate and coarse
aggregates, recycled aggregates.
To conduct compressive strength test on 150*150*150mm concrete cubes
Too conduct slump test.
To study the properties of concrete in which cement replaced with GGBS
by conducting test,as per BIS such as standard consistency test, initial and
final setting time test.
And to study the following long-term property of ground granulated blast
furnace slag.

 SUMMARY OF LITERATURE REVIEW
Aging of the specimens increased the compressive and tensile strengths
irrespective of the mix proportion increases and further increase in RA and
slag percentage, decreased the compressive and tensile strengths of the
specimens.
Cement replaced with 20, 30 & 40% GGBFS and NA replaced with 25,
50,100%RA, reduces the strength of concrete and the percentage
reduction in the concrete was observed in the range of 25 to 50%.
Concrete with 50% RA and 40% GGBFS gives reasonable compressive
strength of 32.9 MPa at the age of 28 days comparing to desired value of
50 MPa.
Hence it is suggested that construction engineer can do mix design for 50
MPa concrete to obtain 30 MPa when replacing 50% NA and 40% cement
in the field.
