Abstract
Sustainable construction materials are those which contributes towards the carbon- negative process of manufacturing. Cement produced by raw materials from industrial wastes and non-fossil fuel sources is considered as green cement which has high potential in constructions due to high tensile strength and resistance to corrosion. Exploring replacement materials for conventional cement is an active area of research. This data investigation focused on development of novel concrete mix with various proportions of sustainable supplementary materials with cement, fine and coarse aggregate substances. Alccofine, Metakaolin, GGBFS, Foundry sand, Copper slag, Recycled aggregate and Sintered fly ash aggregate are suitable supplementary materials of the concrete mix. Data projected replacement of cement by 15 % Alccofine, 10% Metakaolin and 30% GGBFS substitution and Fine aggregates (50% Copper slag, 30% Foundry sand) and replacement of Coarse aggregate (20% Recycled and 30% Sintered Fly Ash aggregate) will produce sustainable concrete mixture. Compressive and split tensile strength examined at 7th, 14th and 28th day and compared with conventional concrete. This data shows that the concrete mixture CFACA 1234567 was outperformed among the five mixture studied.
