MUMBAI, India, Aug. 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202621071085 A) filed by D Y Patil College Of Engineering, Akurdi, Pune on June 08, 2026, for Light Weight Concrete Block Substituting Ggbs With Foaming Agent.
Inventors include D Y Patil College Of Engineering, Akurdi, Pune; Mrunalini Shewale; Anuradha Jadhav; Shivam Wani; Mihir Khilari; and Audarya Chumbalkar.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: The review article looks at how Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) is used in foamed concrete blocks. Understanding how GGBS influences the strength, density, thermal characteristics, and durability of lightweight concrete blocks is the major objective. A byproduct of the steel industry, GGBS is frequently used as a partial substitute for cement to enhance concrete qualities and lower environmental effect. He report examines prior studies on varying GGBS cement replacement ratios, foam producing techniques, and curing conditions. These variables influence foamed concrete's pore structure, dry density, compressive strength, water absorption, and thermal insulation. The research also looks at how well the blocks hold up when exposed to chloride and sulfates. The literature search reveals that using GGBS can lower CO2 emissions and cement use while simultaneously enhancing long-term strength and durability. For modern construction, this review helps in finding appropriate mix ratios for creating lightweight, strong, and environmentally friendly concrete blocks.
