Experimental Studies on Self-Compacting Alkali Activated Slag Concrete Mixes Incorporating Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement as Fine Aggregate

Article Preview

Abstract:

Here performance evaluation of Self Compacting Alkali Activated Slag Concrete incorporating Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement as fine aggregate was carried out. Investigation on mechanical properties by replacing the fine aggregate by Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement in different proportions were also evaluated. Development of Self Compacting Alkali Activated Concrete mixes (SCAAC) was made with GGBFS and Lime are used binders, with binder content varying between 550 to 650 kg/m3 of fresh concrete and lime content varying from 10% to 20% of binder content. The net W/B ratio of the mixes was kept around 0.57. The fine aggregate was replaced by Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement with percentage replacement from 50 to 100% of Crushed Stone Sand. The alkaline solutions had Na2O dosage percentages in the range 5-6% with a constant activator modulus maintained at 1. By using Minitab Statistical Software nine mixes were produced with 4 factors and 3 levels. In this study the TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) optimization technique was carried out to know the effectiveness. Results showed the slump flow greater than 650 mm, with their L–Box, U-box and V-Funnel values ranging between 0.85,20mm and10s respectively, results showed enhanced mechanical properties as compared to control OPCC mix.
