Abstract

The dramatic increase in modernisation and infrastructure activities is driving up want for cementitious materials, particularly in the construction mix. Concrete's exceptional strength and toughness make it ideal for a broad range of structural applications, such as the building of rigid pavements. Cement manufacturing, on the other hand, raises carbon emissions and deprives the supply of natural aggregates. As a result, there is a higher need for sidewalk designs that use sustainable raw materials and provide a constant quality of service.The current study investigated the impact of using blast furnace slag as a cement substitute and road base as a biological partial substitute of sand in PQC blends on effectiveness, strength properties, and tensile strengths of both GGBS-PQC and MS-PQC. For something like the testing of conflict resolution (quality and equality in performance), ultrasonic pulse velocity tests were performed on GGBS-PQC, MS-PQC, and GGBS+MS-PQC concrete. The findings revealed that the GGBS-PQC and MS-PQC blends are of high grade. Blast furnace slag and produced sand may both be utilised in Pavement Value Concrete mixtures, according to the research.
