Abstract Waste glass is one of the biggest contributors in waste production in Malaysia which can be used as partial sand replacement in concrete. Silica exists in waste glass components made it becomes a pozzolanic material and suitable to be used in a concrete mixture. The performance of the waste glass as fine aggregate was reviewed by considering the workability of fresh concrete, the strength, and the splitting tensile of hardened concrete. The range of the replacement waste are 0%, 10%, 20% and 30%. The influence of the waste glass on the microstructure of the concrete also have been evaluated. A total of seventeen previous research papers were collected and review based on the parameters selected. The results shows that replacement of waste glass in concrete give a positive impact for all selected parameters with 20% replacement represent as an optimal percentage replacement. The microstructure of the waste glass concrete resulting that more voids created after 20% replacement of waste glass which affects the compressive strength and split tensile strength of the concrete thus make the optimum replacement percentage is 20% replacement.

Rice husk ash (RHA) is a by-product of the rice milling industry. Near about 20 million tonnes of RHA is produced annually which creates environmental pollution. Utilization of RHA as a supplementary cementitious material adds sustainability to concrete by reducing CO2 emission of cement production. But, the percentage of utilization of RHA is very less. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation to study the effects of partial replacement of fine aggregate with RHA on mechanical properties of conventional and self-compacting concrete (SCC). The fine aggregate is replaced by RHA in conventional concrete (CC) with six different percentage by weight such as 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% having w/c ratio 0.375 with variation of super plasticiser dose, whereas in SCC the replacement of fine aggregate by RHA is 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%. The design mix for CC is targeted for M30 grade concrete. The fresh concrete test of SCC is conducted by using slump flow, T500, J-ring, L-box, U-box and V-funnel to know the filling ability, flow ability and passing ability of SCC. As fresh concrete property concerned, the result indicates that the slump flow value satisfied the EFNARC 2005 guidelines upto 30% replacement of fine aggregate with RHA whereas 40% replacement did not satisfy the guideline. As hardened concrete property concerned, the compressive strength, split-tensile strength and flexural strength of CC and SCC are determined at 7, 28 and 90 days. The test result indicates that upto 30% replacement of fine aggregate with RHA enhances the strength in CC whereas the strength enhancement in SCC upto 20% replacement.

Concrete is highly used construction material with cement being its major ingredient. Also, the demand for good quality of concrete is increasing because of the fast-growing urbanization. But there are certain problems associated with the manufacturing of cement. One of the major problems being production of carbon dioxide causing pollution in environment, the manufacturing of cement is quite expensive and it also leads to the depletion of resources. In order to curtail the consumption of cement, it has become inevitable to replace cement by certain amount with substituent materials that are cheaper to produce in order to lower down the financial cost of concrete production by some extent. The review paper, elaborates many properties of concrete by the inclusion of Kota stone slurry after evaluating several research papers. The following paper discusses numerous properties of concrete including workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, water absorption and modulus of elasticity. The paper demonstrates that when used appropriately, inclusion of Kota stone slurry in concrete had a positive impact on concrete by increasing the strength and durability.

Reusing of waste glass in concrete production is among the attractive option of achieving waste reduction and preserving the natural resources from further depletion thereby protecting the environment and achieving sustainability. This present study examines the possible reuse of waste glass crushed into fine and coarse aggregate sizes as partial substitute for natural fine and coarse aggregate in concrete. The variables in this study is both the fine and coarse aggregate while the cement and water-cement ratio were held constant. The crushed glass was varied from 0 – 100% in steps of 25% by weight to replace the both the natural fine and coarse aggregate in the same concrete mix. Concrete mixes were prepared using a mix proportion of 1:2:4 (cement: fine aggregate: coarse aggregate) at water-cement ratio of 0.5 targeting a design strength of 20 MPa. Tests were carried out on total number of 90 concrete cube specimens of size 150 x 150 x150 mm and 90concrete cylinder specimens of dimension 100 mm diameter by 200 mm height after 3, 7, 14, 28, 42 and 90 days of curing. Test results indicated that the compressive and split tensile strength of the hardened concrete decreases with increasing waste glass content compared with the control. However, concrete mix made with 25% waste glass content compared significantly well with the control and can be suitably adopted for production of light weight concrete.

Concrete is a compound material composed of fine aggregates and coarse aggregate bonded together with fluid cement that hardens over time.The deficit of natural sand arises the need of alternative materials for replacement of natural sand. The squashed stone residue which is locally accessible modern strong waste material is ordinarily utilized as a fine aggregate in concrete. In the current examination, an exploratory program was carried out to consider the compressive and split tensile quality of concrete made utilizing stone residue as halfway substitution of fine aggregate at an increment of 10%. Zeolite is a pozzolanic material and its pozzolanic action improves the compressivestrength of concrete. Natural zeolites are supplementary cementitious materials. By adding zeolite, the investigation on the experiments will be carried out to determine the compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete made using zeolite as partial replacement of cement up to 20 percent at an interval of 5 percent just as the way Stone dust is being replaced to achieve the objective of the project, M30 grade of concrete is prepared. The cube and cylindrical samples shall be tested after a curing period of 7 & 28 days.

This experimental investigation is to utilize the sludge waste as a replacement of natural fine aggregate. We can introduce a sustainable construction material which is proved to be an alternative for waste disposal, helping out to free from environmental pollution. By replacing the natural fine aggregate of sludge waste it helps us to save our nature. Per day for construction site, we are using a large quantity of natural fine aggregate. This study reviews various attempts that have been made to use sludge waste as the partial replacement of fine aggregate. The fine aggregate is partially replaced by a trial mix of 5%, 10%,15%,20%,25% and 30% with sludge waste .Then fresh concrete and hardened concrete is prepared by the partial replacement of fine aggregate. This process is to be done by dry condition. The mechanical and physical properties of the concrete after replacement is to be tested in the laboratory and the results are compared with the ordinary concrete. The comparison of results shows that the replace of 20% sand by sludge waste shows more compressive strength than that of the ordinary concrete with sand as fine aggregate. From the result we can understand that if the sludge contains finer particles the strength of the concrete will further increase.

AbstractThe reuse of waste materials in civil engineering projects has become the topic for many researchers due to their economic and environmental benefits. In this study, brick dust waste (BDW) derived from cutting of masonry bricks and demolition waste which are normally dumped as land fill is used as partial replacement of cement in a concrete mix at 10%, 20% and 30% respectively, with the aim of achieving high strength in concrete using less cement due to the environmental problems associated with the cement production. To ascertain the effects of BDW on the consistency and mechanical performance of concrete mix, laboratory investigations on the workability of fresh concrete and the strength of hardened concrete were carried out. Slump and compaction index test were carried out on fresh concrete mix and unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test and tensile strength test were conducted on hardened concrete specimen after 7, 14 and 28 days of curing. The results showed high UCS and tensile strength with the addition of 10% BDW to the concrete mix, hence achieving the set target in accordance with the relevant British standards. A gradual reduction in strength was observed as BDW content increases, however, recording good workability as slump and compaction index results fell within the set target range in accordance with relevant British standards. Findings from this study concluded that BDW can partially replace cement in a concrete mix to up to 30% igniting the path to a cleaner production of novel concrete using BDW in construction work.

A responsible approach towards sustainable development requires the use of environmentally friendly, low-carbon, and energy-intensive materials. One positive way is to use glass waste as a replacement for fine natural aggregate. For this purpose, the effects of adding glass cullet to the mechanical properties of mortar were carried out. The glass aggregate made from recycled post-consumer waste glass (food, medicine, and cosmetics packaging, including mostly bottles), were used. This experimental work included four different contents of fine glass cullet (5, 10, 15, and 20 wt.% of fine aggregate). The compressive, flexural, and split tensile strengths were evaluated. Moreover, the modulus of elasticity and Poisson coefficient were determined. The addition of glass sand aggregate increases the mechanical properties of mortar. When comparing the strength, the obtained improvement in split tensile strength was the least affected. The obtained effect for the increased analysed properties of the glass sand aggregate content has been rarely reported. Moreover, it was determined that by increasing the recycled glass sand aggregate content, the density of mortar decreased. In addition, the relationships between the properties for mortar containing glass sand aggregate were observed.

Demand for natural sand in concrete is increasing day by day since the available sand cannot meet the rising demand of construction sector. This paper reports the experimental study undertaken to investigate the influence of partial replacement of cement with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag(GGBFS) in concrete containing quarry dust as fine aggregate. The cement was replaced by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of GGBFS and tests were conducted to determine the optimum level of replacement of GGBFS in quarry dust concrete. The specimens were subjected to compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and bond strength tests at 7days, 28days, 56days, 90days and 150 days. The resistance to corrosion is evaluated based on the performance of the concrete for the penetration of chloride ions by means of impressed voltage technique in saline medium and Gravimetric weight loss method. Results herein reveal that an increase in slag proportion increases the strength properties and decreases the rate and amount of corrosion of reinforcement and among the various percentages of replacement 40% is found to be optimum with better strength and corrosion resistance properties.
