Abstract

In today's fast-growing world, it is critical to utilize green, sustainable, and resilient materials keeping the impact of carbon in mind. The use of Nanomaterials has evolved to improve the performance characteristics of cement composites. As a result, Graphene Oxide (G.O) was discovered to be one of the Nanomaterials with an exceptional variety of characteristics with the potential to improve the strength and toughness of cement-based composites. Nano-material concrete is a new kind of concrete composed of materials with Nano scale particle sizes. Graphene Oxide can be used in concrete to create high strength concrete. The mix design was calculated for M80 by substituting 15% cement with Fly Ash and another 15% cement with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS or GGBFS) to get High Strength Self-Compacting Concrete (HSSCC). In this paper, Graphene Oxide was added in 0%, 0.02%, 0.04%, 0.06%, 0.08% and 0.1% by weight of powder content to the Self Compacting Concrete. Fresh properties were determined by performing Slump Flow test, V-Funnel test, and L-Box test. Hardened properties were determined by conducting compression test, split tensile test and flexural test at 7 days and 28 days of age. By inclusion of Graphene Oxide to the self-compacting concrete, desired properties were achieved.
