Geopolymer concrete is one of the major developments in recent years resulting in utilization of fly ash in huge quantities and eventually reducing cement consumption and ultimately reducing emission of greenhouse gases.The geopolymer concrete is produced by using activated fly ash as binder material instead of cement. Geopolymer concrete accomplishes great strength and looks similar to conventional concrete. Recycled coarse aggregate (RCA )which is coming from demolition of construction of old and existing structures has been used in this study. The durability property; acid attack resistance with partial replacement of coarse aggregate by recycled aggregate in geopolymer and conventional concrete for the different composition such as 10, 20, 30 and 40percentage for a period of 15, 45,75 and 105 days has been evaluated. From the results it was observed that in both natural and recycled aggregate of Geopolymer concrete is highly resistant to acids such as sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid compared to conventional concrete of respective aggregates.

Environmental and economic factors increasingly encourage higher utility of industrial by-products. The basic objective of this study was to identify alternative source for good quality aggregates which is depleting very fast due to fast pace of construction activities in India. EAF oxidizing slag as a by-product obtained during the process in steel making industry provides great opportunity to utilize it as an alternative to normally available coarse aggregates. The primary aim of this research was to evaluate the physical, mechanical, and durability properties of concrete made with EAF oxidizing slag in addition to supplementary cementing material fly ash. This study presents the experimental investigations carried out on concrete grades of M20 and M30 with three mixes: (i) Mix A, conventional concrete mix with no material substitution, (ii) Mix B, 30% replacement of cement with fly ash, and (iii) Mix C, 30% replacement of cement with fly ash and 50% replacement of coarse aggregate with EAF oxidizing slag. Tests were conducted to determine mechanical and durability properties up to the age of 90 days. The test results concluded that concrete made with EAF oxidizing slag and fly ash (Mix C) had greater strength and durability characteristics when compared to Mix A and Mix B. Based on the overall observations, it could be recommended that EAF oxidizing slag and fly ash could be effectively utilized as coarse aggregate replacement and cement replacement in all concrete applications.

Numerical Experimentation

In order to optimize the material design for cement-fly ash stabilized crushed-stones, the strong interlocked coarse skeleton gradation was put forward based on the numerical experimentation method. In addition, the vibration method was employed to carry out the experimental study on the mechanical property of the cement-fly ash stabilized crushed-stones. Besides, the influencing regularities of the mixed amount of cement and fly ash on the cement-fly ash stabilized crushed-stones were researched. The result showed that the numerically simulated coarse aggregate gradation had great interlocked power, and the fine aggregate content of 31%±3% had stabilized mechanical property. Then, strong interlocked skeleton dense gradation of the cement-fly ash stabilized crushed-stones was put forward. Furthermore, when the 7d compression strength was used as the research indicator, the best proportion of the cement and fly ash was 1:0.5~1:1, and when the ultimate strength was used as the research indicator, then, the best ratio of the cement and fly ash was 1:1~1:1.5. Therefore, the cement dosage was advised to be 3~4% and the mixture amount of fly ash was 4~5%.

Heavy Loads

With the rapid growth in building construction and urbanisation, buildings are getting taller and bigger than ever. In India majority of structures are constructed with the help of concrete resulting into very heavy structures. Heavy loads are one of the limitations for construction of tall buildings. If somehow structures are made lighter, cost of the foundation can also be lowered down. Conventional concrete is one of the main reason in increasing the weight of the buildings. Light weight concrete can be very much effective in reducing the overall weight of the building. In conventional concrete, larger volume comprises of coarse aggregates. In this study, attempt has been made to replace conventional coarse aggregates with Styrofoam which is a very light weight foam. Concrete with different aggregate replacement percentage was tested. The results show very encouraging results for the compressive strength and density.

As construction in India and other developing countries are increasing, the consumption of energy and resources are also increasing in same alarming way. Due to urbanization many industries are developed and the industrial wastage is also increasing day by day which is a serious concern to the environment. Many industries produce various end products, which may be used in construction industry at various places. So we focused on some of the waste materials which can be replaced in conventional concrete, and by then cost of construction can be reduced and is economical, also damage caused to the environment can also be reduced, at the same time landfills can also be reduced. So, we focused on reducing the virgin materials in concrete like cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate by replacing them with some waste materials which have same properties of cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. The objective of the present work is to find out the effectiveness of fly ash, quarry dust and crumb rubber by replacing them in varied percentages. Here, cement is replaced by fly ash with percentages as 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and quarry dust as fine aggregate with percentages of 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% along with crumb rubber as coarse aggregate with percentages as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%. The results in this study have shown a gradual reduction of compressive strength as we kept on adding the crumbed rubber. Even though the strength obtained for 5% usage of crumbed rubber was quite satisfactory.

In order to analyses affection to thermal conductivity from various factors, such as: coarse aggregate, mortar ratio, sand ratio, water cement ratio, fly ash and air content, thermal conductivity of a series of concrete specimens were determined based on thermal conductivity meter. The results showed that: coarse aggregate, mortar ratio and gas content is the main factor affecting concrete thermal conductivity. Meanwhile, water-cement ratio, sand ratio and fly ash had few effects on the thermal conductivity. In addition, a certain formula to predict thermal conductivity of concrete was proposed.

Abstract: The major factor that affects the housing delivery is high cost of materials for any conventional concrete. This has lead to find an alternative. An attempt has been made to find an alternative by using partial replacement of coarse aggregate by coconut shell aggregate and cement by fly ash. This report provides the information obtained from a literature search. And also provides laboratory experiments on Cement, Sand, Coarse aggregate and Coconut shell. This project is done using partial replacement of coarse aggregate by coconut shell aggregate and cement by fly ash.10 % of fly ash was kept constant as replacement for cement. And Coarse aggregate was replaced by 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of coconut shell aggregate.30 concrete cubes of 150x150x150 mm size were casted and 3 cubes were tested after 7 days of curing and 3 cubes were tested after 28 days of curing for each percentage.30 concrete Cylinders of 150x300 mm size were casted and 3 Cylinders were tested after 7 days of curing and 3 Cylinders were tested after 28 days of curing for each percentage.15 concrete Beams of 100X100X500 mm size were casted and 3 beams were tested after 28 days of curing for each percentage. Two models were done using ANSYS Software using the same failure loads from the experimental part. Keywords: Light weight concrete, coconut shell, Fly-ash, experimental.
