The increasing popularity of concrete as a construction material is placing a huge burden on the naturalsand reserves of all countries. In view of the environmental problems faced today considering the fast reduction ofnatural resources like sand and crushed granite aggregate, engineers have become aware to extend the practice ofpartially replacing fine aggregate with waste materials. GGBFS is used to make durable concrete structures incombination with ordinary Portland cement. In this present study Ground Granulated blast furnace slag were replacedwith Cement and the properties of concrete were studied. Blast furnace slag is a by-product from blast furnaces which isused to produce iron. Blast furnace slag has been used extensively as a successful replacement material for Portlandcement in concrete materials to improve durability, produce high strength and high performance concrete, and bringsenvironmental and economic benefits together, such as resource conservation and energy savings. In this study attemptmade by the two Materials are replacing with Fine aggregate and Cement with Ground Granulated blast furnace slagand Blast furnace slag with addition of the glass fiber. This study is focuses on the mechanical properties of concreteincorporating mixture with partial replacement of cement by GGBFS and Fine Aggregate by BFS. Twenty mixes werecontaining cement replacement by GGBFS as 0 to 40%, Fine Aggregate Replacement by BFS as 0 to 40% and mixture ofGlass fiber 0.4%, 0.5% by volume for M30 grade of concrete. The durability test is focus on same as above replacementand fiber content for M30 grade of concrete. The mechanical properties investigated in current study includecompressive strength, splitting tensile strength, durability test.
