Abstract :

This Laboratory Study Investigates The Effects Of Partial Cement Substitution With Metakaolin, Glass Powder, And Silica Fume On The Physical And Mechanical Properties Of Concrete. The Research Aims To Enhance The Sustainability And Performance Of Concrete By Incorporating These Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs), Which Are Known For Their Pozzolanic Activity And Environmental Benefits. Various Concrete Mixes With Different Substitution Ratios Were Prepared And Tested For Compressive Strength, Workability, Durability, And Microstructural Characteristics. Results Indicate That The Inclusion Of Metakaolin And Silica Fume Significantly Improves Compressive Strength And Durability, While Glass Powder Contributes To Better Workability And Reduced Environmental Impact. The Combined Use Of These Materials Demonstrated Synergistic Effects, Optimizing Both Mechanical Performance And Sustainability. This Study Provides Valuable Insights Into The Potential Of Metakaolin, Glass Powder, And Silica Fume As Effective Partial Replacements For Cement, Promoting Greener And More Durable Concrete Solutions.
