- Description
- The cement manufacturing industry is a major contributor to atmospheric pollution, primarily due to carbon dioxide emissions. Consequently, there is a pressing need to develop eco-friendly concrete capable of mitigating air pollution by sequestering atmospheric carbon dioxide. In this context, the incorporation of Natural Zeolite in concrete has been investigated, as it can absorb environmental carbon dioxide. This study explored the effects of partial cement replacement with Natural Zeolite (5%) and varying percentages of Silica Fume, Metakaolin, and Fly Ash (5%, 10%, and 15%) on the mechanical properties and carbon sequestration potential of High Strength Concrete (HSC). Comprehensive testing was conducted to evaluate the split tensile, compressive, and flexural strengths of the modified HSC. Experimental results indicated that the addition of Natural Zeolite and Metakaolin enhanced the strength of HSC, with Mix 3 displaying a higher 90-day compressive strength compared to the reference mix. The findings suggest that incorporating Natural Zeolite and other supplementary cementitious materials in concrete has the potential to alleviate environmental pollution. The dataset, comprising 900 samples, exhibited no autocorrelation or multicollinearity issues, making it suitable for multiple regression analysis. The statistically significant regression models developed in this study can effectively predict concrete strength. (2023). All Rights Reserved.
