An experimental study on flexural behavior of RC beams of Alccofine based engineered concrete infusing steel fibres
Abstract: The innovations in concrete being engineered to the specific requirements have found a new dimension under sustainability. Alccofine is a sustainable construction material derived from GGBS. The primary objective of the study is to explore the potential of Alccofine particles in varying proportions in combination with 0.5% steel fibers to uplift the flexural strength of the engineered concrete. As concrete is known to be a brittle material once hardened, exhibits …

Service Life Prediction of Concretes Incorporated with Fly Ash and Alccofine with respect to Chloride Ion Penetration
Abstract: Chloride-induced corrosion poses a significant threat to the degradation of reinforced concrete structures, especially in extreme environments such as marine and industrial exposure conditions, where the damage can be particularly severe. This study provides an experimental investigation utilizing three distinct water-binder ratios (0.3, 0.4, and 0.5) applied to three types of concrete mixtures: conventional concrete, concrete blended with 40% fly ash, and concrete blended with 40% fly ash and 2% …

Sustainable High-Strength Concrete: A Study on M60 Mixes with Alccofine as Supplementary Cementitious Material
Abstract: Concrete, which combines cement, water, aggregates, and admixtures to create a flexible material that solidifies into stone-like strength, is the foundation of contemporary building. Because of its versatility, it can be used for anything from pavements to skyscrapers, but typical mixes require large amounts of cement, which increases manufacturing costs and CO2 emissions. This study investigates the use ofAlccofine 1203, a powder made from ultrafine slag, as a partial substitute …

Effect of Heat Exposure on Structural Integrity of Geopolymer Concrete Composites
Abstract: The research evaluates the thermal degradation effects of high temperatures on Geo Polymer Concrete Composite (GPCC) by examining alccofine concrete, concrete made with alccofine and porcelain waste aggregates. Knowing how GPCC behaves under high temperatures proves essential for protecting buildings during fires as well as industrial applications. Each mix design received composite concrete samples that underwent increased heating conditions from 100°C to 700°C at 200°C intervals. Post-heating, various parameters were …

Exploring the Synergy of High Performance Composite Concrete Strength and Sustainable Construction Practice
Abstract: This research evaluates how the combination of industrial waste materials optimizes composite concrete structure strength and services the interests of sustainable construction development. This research examines two major environmental problems stemming from ordinary Portland cement clinker manufacturing and landfill accumulation of non-biodegradable porcelain waste. The research employed alccofine dosage of 16% as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) with high pozzolanic activity to combat these problems. Processed porcelain waste aggregates filled …
