Properties of Non-Autoclaved Aerated Concrete with Quadruple Cementitious Mixture Using Response Surface Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to investigate properties of non-autoclaved aerated concrete (AC) with quadruple cementitious mixture containing silica fume (SF) and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) on the basis of Response Surface Method (RSM). Compressive strength and porosity for 9 different mixtures have been determined and the prediction models for these properties have been developed using regression analyses. The combination of 5% SF and 20% GGBFS was found to be useful for strength development and reduction of porosity in the AC.
