Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) is a special kind of composite that possesses exceptional ductility, tensile strength, and pseudo-hardening properties. ECC consist of a high volume of flyash and are created with 2% volume proportion of fibres utilizing the principles of micro mechanics. Multiple studies have examined the effect of replacing ECC ingredients with waste or locally available resources as a means of cost reduction. This research study examined the effects of substituting fly ash with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and fine sand with expired cement. Through the substitution of cement with waste material, ECC has become more cost-effective and ecologically sustainable. The characteristics of ECC remain nearly unchanged when waste and locally available materials are used to replace some of the ingredients of ECC. The primary aim of this inquiry is to create a mixture that possesses a high matrix strength and exceptional tensile ductility strength at an early stage, and to compare the experimental outcomes of high volume flyash ECC with the suggested ECC. To achieve this a matrix has been prepared by replacing flyash with GGBFS at 10% and river sand by expired cement at 10, 20, 30% and same three variation of expired cement with 20 and 30% of GGBFS. The experimental findings indicate that the combination of ECC with GGBFS and Expired Cement exhibits superior compressive strength, flexural strength, strain hardening behaviour, and tensile capacity after a 28-day and 56-day period, in comparison to using FA alone.

摘要

Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC) is a special kind of composite that possesses exceptional ductility, tensile strength, and pseudo-hardening properties. ECC consist of a high volume of flyash and are created with 2% volume proportion of fibres utilizing the principles of micro mechanics. Multiple studies have examined the effect of replacing ECC ingredients with waste or locally available resources as a means of cost reduction. This research study examined the effects of substituting fly ash with ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) and fine sand with expired cement. Through the substitution of cement with waste material, ECC has become more cost-effective and ecologically sustainable. The characteristics of ECC remain nearly unchanged when waste and locally available materials are used to replace some of the ingredients of ECC. The primary aim of this inquiry is to create a mixture that possesses a high matrix strength and exceptional tensile ductility strength at an early stage, and to compare the experimental outcomes of high volume flyash ECC with the suggested ECC. To achieve this a matrix has been prepared by replacing flyash with GGBFS at 10% and river sand by expired cement at 10, 20, 30% and same three variation of expired cement with 20 and 30% of GGBFS. The experimental findings indicate that the combination of ECC with GGBFS and Expired Cement exhibits superior compressive strength, flexural strength, strain hardening behaviour, and tensile capacity after a 28-day and 56-day period, in comparison to using FA alone.
