Influence of Recycled Aggregate and Steel Fiber on the Compressive Strength of Concrete: A Comparative Study of NAC and RAC Mixes

By Bharti Ahirwar and Harsh Rathore

Abstract: Abstract This study evaluates the impact of varying proportions of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and steel fiber content on the compressive strength of concrete mixes. Five concrete mixes were prepared with different percentages of RCA (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%), using a constant water-to-cement ratio (w/c) of 0.55. Additionally, each mix included variations with…

Optimizing Characteristics of Ferro-Geopolymer Composites for Structural Applications

By Rishabh Tiwari and Harsh Rathore

Abstract: Abstract This study focuses on developing an optimal mix for geopolymer mortar (GPM) using varying molarities of NaOH solution and different binder-to-aggregate ratios. The primary objective was to determine the mix that yields the highest compressive strength. GPM cubes were prepared and subjected to two curing methods – oven curing and steam curing. Compressive strength…
