Design of High Compressive Strength Concrete Mix without Additives
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
In this paper, the crashed Basalt and uncrushed granite is used in concrete mixes as coarse aggregate. The selected materials, with high specification using special production techniques, the properties ,the mix design procedure and mix proportion of the high strength concrete (HSC) were discussed. Different proportions of Ordinary Portland cement (410,430 and 450) kg/m3 with different crashed Basalt and uncrushed Granite coarse aggregate amount (1120 and 1050) kg/m3 and fine aggregate with fine modulus of 3.65 were used. Eight concrete mixes were prepared: two as control mix for crashed Basalt and uncrushed Granite, three with crashed Basalt and three with uncrushed Granite coarse aggregate with mix amount(410:680:1120,430:610:1050 and 450:550:1050) kg/m3,(cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate)respectively. The study showed that the use of granite coarse aggregate in concrete mixes has a clear effect in mix proportion. The compressive strength of concrete was measured at ages of 7, 28 and 56 days and it was found that the granite (Mix3) of (450:550:1050) kg/m3 with w/c of 0.46 give the highest of strength in 28 and 56 days among the abovementioned mixes its 56 and 64 N/mm2 respectively. The paper shows that good results of compressive strength and workability of concrete were obtained when using granite coarse aggregate.
