ABSTRACT
Cement concrete is the most widely used material for various constructions. The amount of cement production emits
approximately equal amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Availability of mineral admixtures marked opening of a
new era for designing concrete mix of higher and higher strength. Research work has been done on the properties of durability
of concrete binary blended with ALCCOFINE 1203 without steel fibres. Hence an attempt has been made in this investigation
on partial replacement of cement with ALCCOFINE 1203 along with incorporation of crimped steel fibres of two aspect ratios
with different percentages of the volume concrete. To attain the setout objectives of the present investigation, M50 grade
concrete has been taken as reference concrete. Fresh concrete properties like slump, compaction factor and hardened concrete
properties like residual compressive strength and weight loss have been studied. It is found that the Residual Compressive
Strength of blended concrete is 4 to 9% greater than the OPCC mix after immersion in HCl, 7 to 10% greater than the OPCC
mix after immersion in H2SO4 and 4 to 8% greater than the OPCC mix after the immersion in MgSO4 for duration of 30 to 90
days. The loss in weight of blended concrete is 4 to 7% lesser than the OPCC mix after the immersion in HCl, 6 to 14% lesser
than the OPCC mix after the immersion in H2SO4 and 5 to 7% lesser than the OPCC mix after the immersion in MgSO4 for
duration of 30 to 90 days.
