Abstract:

Cembinder is an amorphous colloidal silica product containing nano silica particles which when used in concrete induces a pozzolonicreaction between nano sio2 and the calcium hydroxide to form more CSH gel which is the main component responsible for the strength of concrete. The aim of the project is to study the effect of cembinder on the compressive strength of concrete usingcembinder as an admixture in varying proportion of 0%, 1%, 5%, 8%, 10% by weight of cement. M20 grade concrete is designed for this project as per BIS 10262-2009. The materials are proportioned, mixed and casted and are set to curing in the atmospheric temperature of about 30o c to 40oc for 7 days,14 days and 28 days, and are then tested for compressive strength. The compressive strength of the conventional M20 grade concrete was 28.36 N/mm2and the highest strength achieved using cembinderincreased considerably to about 37.61 N/mm2.The usage of cembinder as an admixture in concrete only enhances the overall performance of concrete, but if it is used in excessive percentage it has adverse effects.
