Concrete is usually a combination of cement, coarse particles (aggregates and Sand) and water. It is used to design and improve the infrastructures.It is used to design and improve the infrastructures. Concrete has many advantages and disadvantage. The main property that is characteristic to a concrete’s workability is its compressive strength. Only through this single test, one can judge if cementing has been done appropriately. Possible advancements for development include the use of non-traditional and creative materials, and the reuse of waste materials with a specific end goal to replenish the absence of specific assets and to discover alternative ways to monitor the Earth..This investigation concentrate on Compressive strength, flexural and split tensile strength of Conventional Concrete (CC) and Class C fly ash remains with bio-cement and natural pozzolans to consider the impact of bio-concrete with blend extents of 0%,0.25%,0.5%,1% and 1.5% on quality properties. Moreover, effective self-healing usually occurred due to the use of polymers, microorganism and additional cementing material. It is the key issue to find out the self-healing efficiency’s effect to sealing the crack width successfully. And good resistance was observed during the bacterial chemical process against the freeze and thaw attacks.

This article focuses on the impact of fly ash from the combustion of municipal sewage sludge (FAMSS) as a cement additive in the amounts of 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% (by mass) on selected concrete properties. In the course of the experimental work, water penetration depth and compressive strength measurements were made at various periods of curing (from 2 to 365 days). In addition, the potential impact of FAMSS on the natural environment was examined by determining the leachability of heavy metals. FAMSS-modified concretes showed small values of water penetration depth (lower than 50 mm), as well as good compressive strength (reaching minimum class C30/37 after 130 days of maturing)—similar to the compressive strength obtained for conventional concrete. In addition, the partial replacement of cement with FAMSS has environmental benefits, expressed as a reduction in CO2 emissions. In addition, study has shown that compliance with environmental requirements is associated with heavy metal leaching.


Eco sand is a very fine particle, which is a by-product from the cement manufacturing industry by semi-wet process and it can be a good alternative for natural river sand. Due to its very finely powdered crystalline silica particles present in that which can replace up to 50% of conventional sand usage in concrete and mortars. It can be used in the concrete by replacement of fine aggregates by a certain percentage which gives much more efficiency. In this paper, the hardened properties like cube compressive strength, cylinder split tensile strength, and prism flexural strength are studied with various replacements cement with fly ash like 0 % and 30% and sand with eco sand-like 0%,30%,40%,50% and 60%. The results are compared with conventional concrete specimens. Experimental results also show that the hardened properties of concrete are increased by a certain amount when compared with the normal placed concrete specimens. During the study Due to replacement of fine aggregate with eco sand for workability conditions by some amount of chemical admixtures have been added


It is an evident fact that, the rate of depletion of natural resources like sand is moving to higher grounds every year. In order to curb the later effects, an investigation is led by replacing a portion of sand by GBFS in the entire mixture. GBFS (Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) is a waste byproduct obtained from mining and other industries, whose disposal has led to various Environmental Nuisances. In this investigation the trial mixes by replacing sand by GBFS for 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% & 100% are used. The aim of the investigation is to study the strengthening properties of concrete and various attributes involved in it. In our investigation the absolute number of 30 cubes, prisms and cylinders are prepared for deciding the compressive, flexural and split strengths separately. At 7and 28 days relieving period. In view of the test outcome it was seen that the quality properties of solid increments with expanding the level of GBFS sand The optimum replacement proportion is obtained between 50-75%. The compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength is increased about 3.43%, 17.11% and 10.58% respectively when compared to conventional concrete at 28 days curing period. Even at 100% replacement level of GBFS sand also we will get a good structural grade concrete. Hence utilizing GBFS sand in the concrete is economical as well as environmental friendly option for producing a greener concrete.

In recent years, concrete in the construction industry has rapidly increased worldwide, including developing countries like India. The raw materials required to produce such a quantity require huge depletion of natural resources. On the other hand, disposal of paper waste, fly ash, and plastic waste is one of the biggest problems faced by many countries, including India, the amount of waste collected and recycled is less compared to disposal quantity. The use of these wastes in concrete reduces the disposal of waste in nature. In this experiment work, the use of these wastes in the concrete has been studied. Preliminary tests like specific gravity, fineness modulus, and water absorption have been carried out on the materials. Various mix designs are prepared by partial replacement of cement with fly ash and paper pulp, and sand is completely replaced with the quarry dust, and coarse aggregate is replaced with shredded plastic waste to create sustainable concrete. A comparative study on the properties like slump cone, the weight of the cubes, compressive strength and split tensile strength, and feasibility of such concrete has been carried out. Results indicated that the weight of cubes started to decrease with the addition of waste. Compressive strength and split tensile strength show that the strength started to fall with the addition of plastic. The cost of concrete decreased with the addition of waste. 5 % of plastic waste in concrete and 3 % of paper pulp, and 5 % of fly ash is considered the optimal replacement percentage.

Currently situation, improvement of infrastructure has created an excessive demand for herbal sand, which makes it greater expensive and leads to environmental imbalances. The utilization of suitable sustainable choice materials proves that it is the most efficacious choice to traditional concrete materials and can take care of the surrounding environment. Copper slag is an industrial byproduct of copper production. Copper slag is a high-gravity glassy granular material. This paper reports some experimental studies on the outcome of partially changed sand from impact of copper slag on the mechanical houses of concrete. M30 concrete adopts copper slag plan and partly substitutes high-quality combination fines by means of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 80% and 100%. The mechanical properties of concrete measured in the laboratory encompass compressive strength, split tensile strength and bending tensile strength. The have an impact on of partly replacing the quality aggregates with copper slag on the compressive strength, the cut up tensile power of the cylinder and the bending power of the prism has been evaluated. Water absorption assessments have been also conducted to report the impact of copper slag on the absorption price of concrete. Test results affords that it is feasible to utilize copper slag as best aggregate in concrete.

Due to rapid industrialization extensive quantity of waste materials like fly ash, silica fume, rice ash husk, and ferrochrome ash etc. are generated. Ferrochrome ash is generated from Ferro-alloy industry and fly-ash is produced in thermal power plants are alternative materials which have the potential of being utilized in concrete as a mineral admixture. The present investigation considers the combined influence on strength of concrete using various percentage fly ash and ferrochrome ash as partial replacement of cement. Experiments are carried out to get mechanical properties of ordinary Portland cement by replacement of fly ash by 10%, 20%, 30 % and 3% by ferrochrome ash. Mechanical properties are measured by determining compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. It can be inferred from the study that a small amount of ferrochrome ash mixed with 30 % fly-ash gives higher compressive strength as compared to fly ash alone. Addition of ferrochrome ash also increases the split tensile strength of concrete. Since ferrochrome ash and fly-ash are both industrial waste, utilization of these waste materials reduced the burden of dumping and greenhouse gas and thereby produce sustainable concrete.

Abstract: Among all the current construction materials, concrete occupies a unique position. Concrete is the most often utilised building material. Cement production emits CO2, which is harmful to the environment. One of the most crucial ingredients in concrete production is cement. Experiments were carried out to see how different percentages of Fly Ash and GGBS affected the mechanical qualities of M60 grade concrete. After 7, 14, and 28 days of curing, the compressive strength of concrete cubes with suggested replacement was determined. Compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength are all evaluated on the cubes, cylinders, and prisms. The primary goal of this study is to compare the fresh and hardened characteristics of M-60 grade control concrete with concrete prepared with varied ratios of fly ash and GGBS Keywords: GGBS, Fly Ash, Durability, Compressive Strength, Tensile Strength, Flexural Strength, Slum cone Test


Pavement Quality Concrete (PQC) is a special type of concrete which is used for construction of rigid pavements in dense traffic regions. In this type of PQC higher percentage of cement content is added when compared with conventional concrete, and it is mostly designed for high strength concrete M40 to M50 grade of concrete. Cement production leads to emission of greenhouse gases in vast amount, which made researchers to look for an substitute material to incorpotate with cement. The current experimental work is done to study the effect of wood ash and fly-ash mixed in concete as a partial replacement of cement. The replacement levels of wood ash and fly ash are taken equally as 10, 20 and 30% by weight of cement. In this mainly focused on Compressive strength and split tensile strength according to IS Codal provisions. Experimental test results revealed that the replacement of wood-ash and fly ash as a cementitious material in Pavement Quality Concrete will improve compressive and splittensile strength of concrete.

Abstract Concrete is the most common heterogeneous material in the construction industry. Admixtures have gained wide use in modern constructions, which are having congested reinforcement with ambitious casting conditions. For such applications, self-compacting concrete (SCC) is the only special concrete, which can have high cohesiveness and fluidity. This paper shows the study on the fresh properties, compressive, flexural and split tensile strength in addition to RCPT, sorptivity of SCC with partially replaced electrically precipitated fly ash (EPFA) from 0 to 30% at 5% interval in cement and polycarboxylate ether-based superplasticizer as a chemical admixture. Compared the results with conventional SCC mix the fresh concrete performance was studied through the measurement of passing ability, filling ability and flowing ability by using L-Box, U-Box, V-Funnel and slump flow. The results showed that 20% EPFA as partial replacement to SCC gives better results than the conventional concrete, thereby leading to economical profits as well as ecological benefits.
