Utilization Of Mineral Admixtures By Partial Replacement Of Cement

Abstract

Cement concrete is the most widely used construction material in many projects. The development and use of mineral admixture for cement replacement is growing in construction industry mainly due to the consideration of cost saving, energy saving and conservation of resources. Present Study is aimed at replacing cement in concrete with mineral admixtures.

 Micro silica, nano silica, metakaolin have been partly used to replace cement in concrete industry because it contributes beneficial properties to concrete. It improves the workability, durability, and chemical resistance of concrete. It will lead to a reduction in cement quantity required for construction purposes, as well as aid economic construction
