Hyacinth Ash as Partial Replacement of Cement on Short Column
3.4 Test Setup
A Short column was tested on a universal testing machine. The five columns are cast as per mix design with different proportions. It is placed in a curing tank for 28 days. The specimens are dried and whitewash for the visibility of cracks. Then the specimen is placed on the UTM as shown in Fig. 7.
The load was applied until the failure occurs. By gradually increasing to load, the deflection of the column is noted at regular intervals [8].
First crack is noted on the specimen for the corresponding load. Finally the ultimate load and corresponding deflection was noted. Few trials are done for different proportions of the column.

Finally, the initial crack and ultimate load of the short columns are plotted. The ultimate loads are plotted on a graph and compared with the conventional concrete [9].

The specimens are tested until the failure took place. The specimens are axially loaded into UTM. The dial gauge seats at the side of the column for deflection purpose. The parameters such as initial cracking load, ultimate load and deflection of specimens are noted. First crack on the surface of the specimen are noted and marked. The deflection is noted for every 5 kN for the applied load. The load and deflection of all specimens are noted. The compression strength of replacing column (10%) shows better result than conventional concrete. It was observed that the addition of 10% of WHA improves the performance of the column, when compared to conventional column [10].
4. CONCLUSION
The results shows the effectiveness of using WHA for the partial replacement of cement in concrete.
Based on the investigation, the following conclusion is drawn
The setting time of concrete delayed due to addition of WHA in concrete.
The compression strength of short column increases by 10% replacement of WHA than conventional concrete.
Further addition of WHA will reduce the potency of concrete
For the investigation ,WHA is used as a biased substitute of cement has dual benefit of cost disposal and decrease in the manufacturing cost [11].
Addition of WHA in RCC short column results in an increase in ultimate buckling load for 10%
of WHA replacement of cement
For higher replacement of WHA in cement, the compressive strength and split tensile strength gets decrease [1].
