  • Abstract:
  • Concrete is the most widely used construction material in civil engineering industry due to its high structural strength and stability. The concrete industry is actively seeking alternative materials, such as supplementary cementitious materials or industrial byproducts, in order to decrease carbon dioxide emissions, which pose a significant threat to the environment. And on other side River sand is indeed an essential component in concrete mixtures as it serves as a fine aggregate, helping to fill voids and enhance the overall structure. However, it's important to recognize that river sand is a natural resource with finite availability, and its usage should be carefully managed to avoid depletion. Therefore, we have to find some alternative for these two materials and Industrial slag is one of the best alternatives we can use in concrete mix. The solid waste produced by industries, known as ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), is utilized as a substitute material for cement. And Granulated Blast Furnace slag (GBS) is used for replacement of Fine Aggregate. Therefore, in this study we are going to replace Cement and Fine aggregate simultaneously with GGBS and GBS respectively. Compressive strength test was carried out for 7 and 28 days
