The World

The most widely used material in the world is concrete, consequently there is a large requirement for raw material of concrete such as Fine Aggregate, Coarse Aggregate and cement. the huge extraction of the aggregate for manufacturing of concrete as serious effect on the environment due to depletion of natural resources and pollution. This affects the eco system to great extent. Hence the project deals with finding replacement for the existing raw material used in concrete by replacing the fine aggregate from river which is largely used in construction by chiton shell. Sea shell is the corpus of the marine organism. The sea shell has been grinded to 4.75mm and then replaced in the concrete. M20 mix was used and cubic specimen were casted for 5 different percentage of partial replacement as 0%, 5%, 10 %, 20%, and 25 %. All the specimens are tested for 7 & 28 days compressive, flexural and split tensile strength. it has been noted that the highest strength is obtained for 25% replacement of chiton shell. it was also observed that  addition of sea shell power in concrete reduced workability hence superplasticizer were added to improve the consistency.

The rapid growth of the population leads to a requirement of infrastructure this leads to scarcity of raw material for construction such as cement and sand. The other hand pollution growing due to thermal power plants, granite polishing unit and plastic waste this need to be removed. This gives an idea of using this compound as a raw material in concrete making. This concept found to effective minimizes disposal of fly, granite power and plastic wastes, and leads towards Green Building Concepts. In this investigation of M25 grade normal concrete is made by cement, sand, and aggregate which is tested and compared by special concrete. The concrete mix is prepared as per 10262 -2019 by adding replacing small amount of Fly ash in place of cement OPC 53 grade, and fine aggregate is prepared by partial replacing with granite powder (0%,10%,20%,30%)and another mix is prepared by adding 0.5 nylon fiber, partial replacement of fine aggregate with granite powder (0%,10%,20%,30%)specimens are casted . The casted specimens are tested for split tensile strength and compressive strength 7, 14 and 28 day’s respectively and these results also compared with each other. I t is observed that compressive strength and split tensile of concrete at 28days of curing show max value when compared with normal concrete. When the percentage of granite powder increases to 30% it shows that a decrease in both split tensile strength of concrete and compressive strength. When we added fiber to the concrete there is an increase in compressive strength and split tensile strength but there is a not much increase in compressive strength but increase in split tensile strength

In recent days, there is an intense need for an alternate cost effective and sustainable raw material for concrete which does not make the structure inferior in strength. An experimental study on the utilization of the waste plastic and M-sand in the place of river sand and aggregate partially was performed in paper. In the scenario of scarcity of river sand due to the territorial government action and restriction of usage because of the eco and environmental consideration, M-Sand is found to be an effective replacement and cost effective material. Concrete specimens were casted with combination of M-sand and plastic waste with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and compared against control mix. Cube test for compressive strength study, cylinder test for split tensile strength study and prism test for flexural strength study were done with the proposed concert mixture. All the specimens and tests were done for different curing period of 7, 14 and 28 days. The results obtained from the proposed mix of concrete are compared with the conventional concrete mix specimen respectively. The replacement of fine aggregates reduces the quantity of river sand to be used in concrete and also plastic fibres are proved to be more economical. Positive performance of the concrete with waste plastic and M-Sand as partial replacement of river sand was observed on all the experiments and found optimal in sustainable and economical performance.

Now a days increase in population increases the demand of concrete for construction purpose and Aggregates are the important constituents in concrete.Re-use of demoliation waste avoids the problem of waste disposal and is also helpful in reducing the gap between demand and supply of fresh aggregates. This research deals with partial replacement of natural coarse aggregates (NCA) with recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) of age group 30 years and 35 years in different proportions like 20%, 30%, 40% . For this, M20 grade of concrete is adopted. Curing of specimens were done for 7days and 28 days to attain the maximum strengths. Partial replacement of fine aggregate with Granite powder at 5%, 10%, 15% were done to reduce the waste percentage as well to gain more strength. After casting the specimens of RCA with Granite powder replacement, curing was done and the specimens were tested for compressive and tensile strengths. Obtained results of compressive and tensile strengths of RCA concrete mix were compared with conventional concrete. In this direction, an experimental investigation of compressive and tensile strength was undertaken to use RCA as a partial replacement in concrete. It was observed that the concrete with recycled aggregates of 30years and 35years age group achieved maximum compressive strength of 29.03 N/mm2 , 28.96 N/mm2 and tensile strength of 11.91 N/mm2 , 10.34 N/mm2 were obtained at 40%replacement of RCA respectively. It is found that the compressive strength and Split tensile strength of RAC with copper slag was increased 8.20% and 2.90% when compared with the RAC.

Natural river sand is one of the important constituent materials in concrete production while stone dust is a material obtained from crusher plants which is also sometimes being used either partially or fully in replacement of natural river sand in concrete production. Use of stone dust in concrete not only improves the quality of concrete but also conserve the natural river sand. However, due its scarcity and environmental degradation caused resulting from excessive mining of Natural river sand, there is need to investigate an alternative material of the same quality which can replace river sand in concrete production. In the present study, experiments were carried out to study the gradation of aggregates, workability, compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete made using quarry dust as replacement of fine aggregate at 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%. Grade M15 of concrete was produced with ordinary Portland cement (OPC) for referral concrete while M25 of concrete was prepared for compressive strength and split tensile strength concrete. Workability and Compressive strength were determined at different replacement level of fine aggregate and optimum replacement level was determined based on compressive strength. Results showed that by replacing 50% of fine aggregate with quarry dust, concrete of maximum compressive strength can be produced as compared to all other replacement levels. The effect of quarry dust on compressive strength and split tensile strength was investigated and from the overall result obtained, it was observed that the compressive strength and split tensile strength increased significantly for all the curing ages from 0% to 50% replacement level of quarry dust. Maximum value obtained for 28day compressive and tensile strength were 25N/mm2 and 2.3N/mm2 respectively and this occurred at 50% replacement.

Concrete is currently the world's biggest consumer product that uses natural resources such as sand, crushed stone, and water. Research is under way today to decrease consumption of these materials, due to the depletion of these natural resources for concretion. The fast building growth in India led to a lack of standard building materials. The amount of concrete used and the accessibility of raw material in a developed country such as India are much lower. Ceramics produce wastes inevitably in the ceramic industry, regardless of improved processes; around 15%-30% of production is waste output. The ceramic industry dumps waste in all surrounding storage or empty regions close to the facility, although reported locations are labelled for discarding. The pollution of the dust and the occupation of a broad area of soil is caused by serious environmental contamination especially after the powder is dry. Ceramic dust is the most important waste from the ceramic industry. This paper investigates concrete strength features through fractional substitution of fine aggregates with ceramic powder. The fine aggregate was partly combined with ceramic powders in the current experimental study for M25 concrete grade. The tests were performed with 10 percent, 30 percent, 40 percent, 50 percent substitution of fine aggregates with ceramic powder by weight and 28 days of strength testing to evaluate the mechanical characteristics i.e.; compression, tension, and flexural behavior. The optimum proportion of ceramic powder addition is evaluated in view of the mechanical requirements of concrete

The increasing demand of natural resources for the concrete production has impacted the surroundings and the concern to protect these natural resources is increasing. Lately, handling and management of scrap is the primary issue faced by the countries worldwide. The waste problem is the most important problems facing the world as a source of the environmental pollution. One of the censorious wastes to be control in today is ‘waste tyre’ because; recent development in transportation has create big number of vehicles, which produce huge quantities of used tyres. Disposing such waste tyres is a critical waste management concern around the world at the moment. Various research work had been conducted in the past which had results that showed reduction in the mechanical energy of the concrete. The motive of this study is to use the reshaped waste tyre rubber as partial alteration of coarse aggregate in the concrete and to examine the outcome of providing an mooring hole of10mm in dia on the surface of the rubber gravel which makes the cement plaster to form a cylindrical mooring between the gravel and the concrete as well work as are bar to the rubber gravel thereby, increase withstanding power to failure under load which simultaneously increase the strength. The partial replacements of coarse aggregates are done at 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by quantity of coarse gravel. The resulting concrete beams are tested for the physical characteristics of concrete. The Comparison of flexural response of beams are made with ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPCC)and Reshaped Waste Tyre Rubber Aggregate Concrete (RWTRAC)for various compositions of Reshaped Waste Tyre Rubber Aggregate replacement to coarse aggregate. Consequently the tests on RWTRAC beams of 10 % rubber aggregate replacement are conducted and results indicated that all the beams are failed in pure bending region and gives deflection nearly same as the conventional beam with the influence of the ultimate moment. Based on the observations during testing, the beams failed in pure flexural compression failure mode. Ductility factor of RWTRAC beam also showed enhanced performance when compared with the performance of conventional concrete. After testing it is inferred that till 10% of RWTRA replacement, the compressive and flexural strength of concrete is nearly same as the conventional concrete, but from 10 to 20% the strengths are abruptly fallen.
