A Review on Mechanical Characteristics of Graphene Oxide and Alccofine in Cement Composites

Abstract

Abstract In recent decades, concrete is one of the broadly utilized construction materials world-wide. Currently, more than 20 to 25 billion tons of concrete materials are consumed annually. In traditional concrete, versatile resources like sand, aggregate, water, and cement are utilized, where the aggregate content is a major element that has far-reaching, and direct effects on the concrete quality. Higher quality aggregates are important that effectively improves the quality of concrete. In traditional concrete, the coarse aggregates consume 60% to 85% volume that delivers hardened and fresh characteristics to concrete, and the fine aggregates consume 15% to 40% volume. This review paper investigates the effects of alccofine, and graphene oxide in concrete and examined the behavior of concrete specimens by means of compressive test, flexural test, slump test, split tensile test. Further this review paper investigates the mechanical property of concrete by varying the dosage rate of alccofine and graphene oxide.
