Abstract:

High performance concrete (HPC) is generally defined as a concrete with higher structural capacity and/or improved durability as compared to ordinary Portland cement concrete. It is currently being used for pertaining to its mechanical properties and durability characteristics. The associated tests include compressive strength, modulus of elasticity. The objective of this work is to quantify the effects of coarse aggregate on the modulus of elasticity of (HPC) concrete. A series of laboratory tests investigations have been conducted. The laboratory tests pertain to the experimental determination of the elastic modulus of HPC using coarse aggregates from various sources. Results of the tests show that the IS recommended equation is not always appropriate for estimating the modulus of elasticity of concrete. Depending on the source of the aggregates, relationships exist between the modulus of elasticity of the aggregate, its LA abrasion and the resulting modulus of elasticity of the concrete. The main aim of this is to reduce the young’s modulus of concrete by considering different percentage of weathered aggregate in place of normal aggregate and also considering the optimum percentage of fly ash can be replaced instead of ordinary Portland cement(53 grade) in M50 concrete mix and also the mechanical properties. Here in this present study we are investigating the effect of different percentage (%) partial replacement of weathered aggregate in place of normal aggregate by considering the replacement percentage (%) of 50%, 75%, and 100% respectively. and also considering the replacement percentage of 20% cement with fly ash.
