Mechanical properties of pozzolans material lightweight concrete by binary blend system

Abstract

This research study the effect of pozzolanic materials on light weight concrete by replacement cement with fly ash and Meta kaolin which affect the properties of concrete by using pumics aggregate. Coarse in aerated concrete and consider mechanical properties. Aerated concrete replacement cement by fly ash 20%, 35% and 50% respectively, and meta-kaolin is replaced. From the results, it was found that the compressive strength of light weight concrete at 28 days, w/b = 0.55 was higher than that of every 14 days of cement and cement cement replacement by fly ash 50% highest value compressive strength. More than all the ingredients replaced with fly ash and Meta kaolin. When considering the flexural strength of replacement cement with 10% by Meta kaolin, the maximum flexural strength of 80 ksc was higher than that of control concrete and all other ingradient. Experimental tensile strength at 28 days result found that replacement cement by fly ash at 35% gave the highest tensile strength of 28 ksc and gave higher tensile strength than all other ingradient. From the impact strength test at age 28 days, it was found that the replacement cement 35% by fly ash gave the highest impact strength of 92.00 joule than the 20% and 50%, respectively, and higher impact strength than that of all kaolin. Except for control concrete.
