A total of five QFS-GPC mix types were prepared. The quantity of FA (50) was kept constant in all the mixes, and SG was replaced by 5, 10, 15, and 20 of QRD. The fresh, hardened properties of the QFS-GPC mixes, viz., workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strengths, and XRD for identification of reaction phases were evaluated. The prepared mixes were also heated up to 800�C to evaluate the residual compressive strength and weight loss. The workability of the QFS-GPC mixes was observed to be reduced by increasing the dosage (0 to 20) of QRD. Superplasticizer (SP) was used to maintain the medium standard of workability. The compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths were increased by replacing SG with QRD up to 15, whereas a further higher dosage (20) of QRD reduced the mechanical strengths of the QFS-GPC mixes. The strength of the QFS-GPC specimens, heated to elevated temperatures up to 800�C, was reduced persistently with the increased contents of QRD from 0 to 20. It was concluded from the study that QFS-GPC can be used to achieve 30 MPa strength of concrete. © 2021 by the authors.
