Influence of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Metakaolin on compressive strength of cement mortar
Abstract
This paper shows that possibility of utilization of GGBS and MK(Metakaolin) on strength development and acid attack on cement mortar. In this research cement has been replaced partially with Metakaolin (5%) in conjunction with GGBS (0, 5, 10, 15, and 20%) in cement mortar. From this study, Results have been obtained for compressive strength and acid attack on cement mortar. This results is recognize a particular compressive strength of cement mortar can be increases up to 50 % by using GGBFS and MK. Acid attack results by using both materials (GGBS & MK) were also very satisfactory. Further, it has also been observed that GGBS can utilize up to 20 % together with 5 % of MK.
