Abstract: This paper deals with experimental investigation on mechanical properties of M20 grade concrete with the aid of
using alccofine in the mix. Alccofine of 0%. 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% by weight of cement are replaced with cement in
the concrete mix. A comparative analysis has been completed for conventional concrete to that of the alccofine used concrete on
the subject of compressive and split tensile strength. As in previous studies alccofine content material will increase compressive
and split tensile strengths are proportionally increasing. It is found that as much as 25% of alccofine replaced with cement by
weight of cement will increase the strength of concrete and later starts reducing the strength.
Keywords: Alccofine, Cement, Concrete, Compressive Strength and Spilt Tensile Strength.

I. INTRODUCTION
Infrastructure improvement is a key driving force for growing Indian economy. Due to growth in urbanization speedy boom in one
of a kind sectors of infrastructure industry is growing with the increase in involvement of overseas investments on this field. In India
construction is the second one biggest activity which make a contribution to financial system after agriculture consequently it's
miles crucial the infrastructure improvement have to happens in green and sustainable manner.. Sustainable and Environmental
pleasant excessive overall performance concrete is a call for in our new generation. However, the maximum vital component used in
the production of concrete is cement that is one of the number one manufacturers of CO2 and contributes to greenhouse gas.
Climate extrade and international warming are modern-day and number one concerns for humanity. Due to scarcity of natural
sources or growing problem over greenhouse gases or both, time will come even as production of cement will ought to be curtailed
or can't be progressed to have the ecological balance. Therefore it's miles essential to locate answers for sustainable manufacturing
of green concrete. SCOPE The bulk use of cement is important in achieving a better compressive electricity. The use of alccofine
substances via way of means of alternative of a percent of binding fabric cement can cause a upward push in the compressive
strength of the concrete in addition to a take a look at to pollution. The use of a totally minute amount of alccofine can have an
effect on the houses and man or woman of concrete largely, a proper examine of its microstructure is critical in know-how the
reactions and the impact of the micro quality particles. This test is attempt to give an explanation for the effect of a alccofine at the
compressive electricity man or woman of concrete via way of means of explaining its microstructure.

II. OBJECTIVE
1) To study the effect of alccofine on workability of concrete.
2) To study the effect of alccofine on the strength of concrete.

III. LITERATURE REVIEW

Alka Paul and Binu. P stated Alccofine is a brand new era, micro quality cloth whose particle length is a whole lot higher than
different electric substances which includes cement, ash, silica fume etc. herbal stability hence lowering cement consumption.
Similarly, brick dust is a powder from a brick klin acquired in tones. Similarly the goals of the venture is to decide the premiere
blend ratio of the alccofine bricks which receives better electricity characteristics and to get much less weight brick. Shamshad
Ahmad stated 5 mixes have been organized wherein one blend turned into managed with undeniable PPC and 4 mixes have been
organized with 5, 10, 15 and 20% alternative via way of means of ultrafine slag (Alccofine 1203). Thus end result suggests that
because of specific particle length distribution of Ultrafine slag improves the electricity as much as 20% alternative. Deval Soni
stated The venture paintings offers with the introducing of a brand new era cloth ALCCOFINE-1203 of a Supplementary
Cementitious Material (SCM) of an ultrafine particle length as an additive into the everyday fly ash brick. So which this Alccofine
bricks has better electricity traits than the everyday fly ash brick stated via way of means of. Rahul. R et.al. Variation in shear
electricity parameters and compaction parameters of the soil is studied via way of means of including exceptional chances of
alccofine 1101 which includes 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5%. Test consequences discovered that on the most excellent charge of
alccofine 1101, the shear electricity function is expanded via way of means of 53.71�ter a curing duration of three days.

By Abhijith L et.al (2019) SUMMARY The evaluate of some of literatures suggests the significance of this area of research. The
findings suggests that some of micro substances like alccofine, SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, colloidal nano silica, metakaolin and others may
be integrated to enhance the homes of concrete. Alccofine is used upto 20% of cement via way of means of weight. The Researches
suggests the stepped forward traits of the mixed concrete in phrases of compressive electricity and tensile electricity past 25% of
cement the usage of plasticizer.

IV. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY

combination with a most length of combination of 20mm down length, and sand have been used as coarse combination and quality
combination respectively. Following are the fabric used in the paper. CEMENT: Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is via way of
means of some distance the maximum vital form of cement. Cement is synthetic through a carefully managed chemical mixture of
calcium, silicon, aluminum, iron and different ingredients. FINE AND COARSE AGGREGATE: During crushing it's miles
attempted to hold to provide the most length of combination in among 20mm to 4.75mm. It have to have fineness modulus 2.50-
3.50 and silt contents have to now no longer be greater than 4%.

A. Alccofine
Alccofine 1203 is manufactured in India and is one in all the imminent micro exceptional substances of particle size finer than
cement, fly ash, silica fume etc. Alccofine 1203 has specific properties in influencing the overall performance of concrete in each
green and hardened state because of its effective particle size distribution.
