Abstract Lightweight concrete is the most popular type in constructional activities to get low density for the concrete just as to diminish the extra weight of the structure. There are different types of lightweight concrete based on the type of lightweight material used. As considering eco-friendly materials like waste tires, waste steel fibres, plastic waste, agricultural waste, waste glass can be utilized in concrete by replacing coarse aggregate and fine aggregate. Lightweight concrete is preferable in constructional activities because of its low warm conductivity and improves fire resistance. In general, lightweight concrete ranges from 1440 to 1840 kg/m3. The main aim is to conclude the high-performance lightweight concrete by using a different type of materials in the same way to achieve low density for the concrete. By this study, we understand that high performance can be achieved by adding steel fibres to improve ductility and for low-density waste tire rubber by partial replacement in coarse aggregate and to improve durability by adding bacillus subtilis JC3 crack formation can be reduced.

Masonry infilled Reinforced Concrete (RC) framed structure is the utmost common kind of building in which, RC frames contribute in resisting lateral forces. Due to heavy mass and rigid construction, the RC framed buildings performs unfortunate under lateral forces. Practice of Lightweight concrete (LWC) is superlative because the dead load of concrete is massive.

In this investigation, pumice is a naturally available material of volcanic source, has low density, which creates it ideal for production of LWC, likewise steel fibres are employed as an additive to enhance the energy absorption ability and to reduce the possibility of development of the cracks. In the present paper the structural behaviour of Lightweight RC framed structures realized by using steel fibres and subjected to lateral forces, In this study, four RC frames viz., F1-NWC (Control), F2- NWCF (with 1% Vf of steel fibres), F3-LWC (with 20% substitute of coarse aggregate instead of pumice aggregate) and F4-LWCF (with 20% substitute of coarse aggregate instead of pumice aggregate and 1% Vf of steel fibres) were casted and tested under in-plane horizontal loading, which are designed according to Indian Standard (IS) code IS 456 (2000). It was observed that the behaviour of F4-LWCF significantly better in comparison to other frames in various parameters such as load carrying capacity, displacement, ductility, stiffness and energy dissipation.

Cost Of Construction

Now days the cost of construction is increasing day by day due to increase in the prices of the building materials. The main ingredients of the concrete are coarse aggregate, fine aggregate and cement. Every construction company mainly depends on these ingredients for the production of concrete. In the present scenario most of the research work is done on how to reduce the cost of construction by increasing the strength of the concrete. Depending up on the properties many of the waste materials are used in the concrete as the partial replacement of aggregates. Mostly fly ash ,rice husk ash and blast furnace slag are found to be suitable for replacing the fine aggregate partially in concrete. Agriculture is the major occupation of the people in India and coconut production is one of the major agriculture production in India. The shell of the coconut is an agricultural waste and requires large amount of area for its dumping after its usage. It causes environment pollution if it is not dumped properly and creates major problem. If this coconut shell is used as replacement for coarse aggregate in concrete it gives solution to the major environmental pollution. Experiments have done on the effect of partial replacement of coarse aggregate with coconut shell for different percentages and investigated the properties of this composite concrete In this study, for M20 and M25 grades concrete four different concrete mixes for each grade with various combinations of coconut shell of about 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% were prepared. For each concrete mix three sample specimens were casted. The main focus behind this study is to utilize the agricultural waste like coconut shells which are of low cost when compared to the coarse aggregates and thus giving rise to the topic of how to construct the structures within low cost. In this study a short term analysis, at 28 days, the nature of coconut shell aggregate concrete is studied by conducting some tests like compressive strength, workability tests and comparison of these results are made with the normal concrete. In order to maintain serviceability, durability and strength of the members all the necessary precautions are taken. Thus by adopting this concept it will be very much helpful for the civil engineers and especially the society to fulfill their basic needs like low cost housing.

Lateral Forces

Reinforced Concrete (RC) framed structure with masonry infill is the most common type of building in which, RC frames participate in resisting lateral forces. The poor performance of RC frame buildings under lateral forces is due to its heavy mass and rigid construction. Use of Lightweight concrete (LWC) is preferred since the dead load of concrete is enormous. A low density of the LWC, decreases the weight of the building thus reducing the effect of lateral forces. However, LWC having a lower modulus of elasticity, has a faster rate of crack development in RC members. So, fibres are employed as an additive to increase the energy absorption capacity and to control the crack development. Pumice is a natural material of volcanic origin, has low density, which makes it ideal for production of LWC. Based on these ideas, Pumice aggregate is used as a partial replacement of coarse aggregate to its volume with addition of steel fibres to the volume of concrete. This paper summarizes the collected literatures related to RC frames, LWC, Fibre Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and thereby attempts to predict the lateral load response of RC portal frame with the use of LWC and Steel fibres.

This paper study the effectiveness of waste material from industrial by-product as lightweight self-cured concrete. Waste material involved in this study is coal bottom ash, oil palm boiler clinker and hydrogel from diapers. Coal bottom ash (CBA) used as a fine aggregate replacement whilst oil palm clinker (OPBC) added into the concrete mixture as partial replacement of coarse aggregate in order to produce lightweight concrete. In addition, hydrogel from disposable diapers was acted as selfcuring agent. Different percentage of CBA as the fine aggregate replacement in concrete was used with the constant value of OPBC as coarse aggregate replacement. The result shows that the concrete sample containing 100% replacement of CBA has the lightest density as compared to other samples. In terms of compressive strength, the sample containing 40% replacement of CBA has similar compressive strength to control sample with reduction of the density of 22% when compared to the control sample. It is concluded that the recycling of CBA and OPBC as replacement material in lightweight concrete has good potential and also processing of CBA and OPBC to develop nano-material are the future potential of CBA and OPBC research for energy efficiency building.

Concrete Production

The use of alternative materials in place of natural aggregate in concrete production has been getting attention all around the globe; this makes concrete a sustainable and environmentally friendly construction material. In this study the use of crushed doum palm shell (CDPS) as partial replacement for coarse aggregate in concrete production was investigated. The concrete grade 30 was used for the research with a water /cement ratio of 0.45. The control sample contained normal concrete ingredient cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. The CDPS replacement by weight was varied at 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% respectively for the test sample. The 28-day compressive strength of the concrete using Doum palm shell aggregate was found to be 28.0 and 20.2 MPa at 5 and 10% replacement under full water curing and it satisfies the requirement for structural lightweight concrete which was more than 17MPa. The study recommended replacement of coarse aggregate up to a maximum of 10 % crushed doum palm shell for structural light weight concrete and it encourage the use of agricultural wastes in construction as an environmental protection and cost reduction measure. However, results from laboratory investigations indicated that crushed doum palm shell (CDPS) has good potential as a coarse aggregate for production of structural lightweight concrete, especially for low-cost housing and also for use in earthquake prone areas.

AbstractThis study aimed to determine the abrasion resistance of ultra-high-performance concretes (UHPCs) for railway sleepers. Test samples were made with different cementitious material combinations and varying steel fiber contents and shapes, using conventional fine aggregate. A total of 25 UHPCs and two high-strength concretes (HSCs) were selected to evaluate their depth of wear and bulk properties. The results of the coefficient of variation (CV), relative gain in abrasion, and abrasion index of the studied UHPCs were also obtained and discussed. Furthermore, a comparison was made on the resistance to wear of the selected UHPCs with those of the HSCs typically used for prestressed concrete sleepers. The outcomes of this study revealed that UHPCs displayed excellent resistance against abrasion, well above that of HSCs. Amongst the utilized cementitious material combinations, UHPCs made with silica fume as a partial replacement of cement performed best against abrasion, whereas mixtures containing fly ash showed the highest depth of wear. The addition of steel fibers had a more positive influence on the abrasion resistance than it did on compressive strength of the studied UHPCs.

To manage tyre waste and conserve natural aggregate resource, this research investigates the use of waste tyre rubber as partial replacement of fine aggregates in non-structural concrete. The research used Taguchi method to study the influence of mix proportion, water-to-cement ratio and tyre rubber replacement percentage on concrete. Nine mixes were prepared with mix proportion of 1:2:4, 1:5:4 and 1:2.5:3; water-to-cement ratio of 0.25, 0.35 and 0.40 and rubber to fine aggregate replacement of 20%, 30% and 40%. Compressive strength and water absorption tests were carried out on 100 mm cubes. Compressive strength was directly proportional to the amount of coarse aggregate in the mix. Water-to-cement ratio increased the strength within the range used in the study. Strength was found to be more sensitive to the overall rubber content than the replacement ratio. Seven out of the nine mixes satisfied the minimum strength requirement for concrete blocks set by ASTM. Water absorption and density for all mixes satisfied the limits applicable for concrete blocks. The study indicates that mix proportions with fine to coarse aggregate ratio of less than 1.0 and w/c ratio around 0.40 can be used with tyre rubber replacements of up to 30 % to satisfy requirements for non-structural concrete.

In this paper comparative study on the compressive strength and permeability of pervious concrete with and without fine aggregate is done. Sand and LLDPE (Linear low density polythene) with varying percentages are used as fine aggregates. Sand is added in percentages of 5%, 10% and 15% of the coarse aggregate in all the mixes. LLDPE powder is added in the percentage of 5%, 10% and 15% of the coarse aggregate in all the mixes. With the addition of fine aggregate the compressive strength of the pervious concrete increases but permeability reduces. The results show that the pervious concrete with LLDPE powder there is a considerable increase in compressive strength as compared to no-fines mix and mix with sand as fine aggregate. The study recommends the use of eco-friendly pervious concrete with LLDPE powder as an alternative to the existing pavements with low volume traffic.
