FLEXURAL BEHAVIOUR OF REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAMS WITH GGBS

The utilization of industrial by-products in construction sector could become an important route for large-scale safe disposal of the industrial was tes and reduction of construction cost. Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) is a byproduct of the steel industry which can be partially replaced with cement to reduce significantly many o f the environmental burdens associated with concrete. In this paper, the results of laboratory investigation conducted on the structural behavior of reinforced concrete beam with various replacement levels of GGBS are presented. Experimental investigation included testing of six reinforced concrete beams with and without GGBS.
