Large quantity of the quarry dust gets produced annually in the quarries during the extraction of the crushed coarse aggregate. As a result, disposal problems of this material gain significant momentum as these disturb environmental systems also. Now-a-days many of the countries like India is facing problems of ban on the extraction of sand and lacunae in procuring of fine aggregate, which is important constituent of the concrete. To overcome this problem, present study is focused on the suitability to utilize the quarry dust in Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) partially as fine aggregate with the natural fine aggregates. In this work, quarry dust is used as replacement of sand in a different level (0%, 15%, 30%, 45% and 60%) for producing the SCC. Fresh properties such as slump flow and V-funnel time have been measured for all mixes and hardened properties as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete have been checked for all the mixes and it has been found that optimum utilization of quarry dust up to 30% can been done to produce SCC without compromising with its properties.

Use of agro and industrial wastes in concrete production will cause sustainable concrete era and greener habitat. In this study an endeavor has been made to discover the propriety of Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA) and Granite Waste (GW) as partial replacement for traditional river sand. The percentage substitute is calculated based on the particle packing approach. The properties such as compressive, splitting tensile, flexural strengths and modulus of elasticity, water absorption, sorptivity and rapid chloride penetration test of the concrete with bagasse ash and granite waste as a partial replacement for river sand and to evaluate them with those of conventional concrete made with river sand fine aggregate are investigated. The test results show that the strength aspects of bagasse ash-granite waste concrete are higher than those of the conventional concrete. Moreover, they suggest that the bagasse ash-granite waste concrete has higher strength characteristics and remains in the lower permeability level shows improvement in overall durability of concrete than the conventional concrete.


Concrete is a material which widely used in construction industry. The present investigation deals with the study of partial replacement of fine aggregate by Nylon Glass Granules in concrete. The fine aggregates are replaced by 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% by Nylon Glass Granules by volume of natural sand in M35 grade of concrete. Additionally, to increase the tensile strength of concrete 1% of Steel Fiber by volume of cement were added to all the mixes containing Nylon Glass Granules. The concrete produced by such ingredients were cured for 7 and 28 days to evaluate its hardened properties. The 28days hardened properties of concrete revealed that maximum strength is observed for the mix which possesses 20% replacement of fine aggregate by Nylon Glass Granules compared with the conventional concrete, thus it is said to be the optimum mix

The management of solid industrial waste is of big global concern nowadays. The majority of industries are not interested in the treatment and safe disposal of industrial waste due to its high cost involvements, causing environmental and other ecological impacts. The disposal of waste foundry sand is of prime importance due to the big volume produced from the metal casting industries all over the world as well as the waste bottom ash produced from the thermal power plant. The possibility of substituting natural fine aggregate with industrial by-products such as bottom ash and foundry sand offers technical, economic and environmental advantages which are of greater importance in the present context of sustainability in construction sector. Concrete is the most important engineering material and the addition of some other material may change the properties of concrete. Studies have been carried out to investigate the possibility of utilizing the board range of material as partial replacement material for cement and aggregate in the production of concrete.

Concrete is the major composite material used in construction industry, it is strong in Compression and weak in tension and also has high self-weight. The light weight concrete was a alternative to conventional concrete due its low weight it decreases the self weight. Comparatively by using the light weight materials that occur either naturally or industrial waste, these material helps in reducing the cost and to improve the performance. Presently in India, more than 960 million tones of solid waste were being generated annually as by-products during industrial, agricultural mining and other processes. This paper deals with coconut shell concrete, which is one of the solid waste in the environment, and the use of this coconut shell as a replacement to coarse aggregate will reduce the weight of concrete by 25%. The other waste that was disposed mostly was sawdust. It was a byproduct of cutting or drilling of wood with saw or other tool. It is composed of fine particles of wood. It is having many advantages over traditional concrete like low bulk density, better heat preservation and heat insulation property. As said earlier to make concrete strong in tension coconut fiber is added, which is a waste material that left to disposal and as it is strong and stiff will hold the concrete material and also controls the crack. This study investigates on the use of sawdust as partial replacement for fine aggregates in concrete production. Sawdust was used to replace fine aggregates in Conventional and as well as in Coconut Shell concrete from 0%, 5%, 10% and 20%. M25 grade of concrete was selected and testing is evaluated at age of 3, 7 and 28 days. From the results, increase in percentage of saw-dust in concrete cubes led to corresponding reduction in compressive strength values, and the optimum saw-dust content was obtained at 5% in conventional as well as in coconut shell concrete , coconut fiber was added at the optimum value of sawdust on conventional and coconut shell concrete at 1%,2%,3%,4% and 5%. The better strength was obtained at 2% addition of fiber in coconut shell concrete and at 3% addition in conventional concrete.

Concrete is considered one of the construction materials that contribute the most significant carbon dioxide in the world. Meanwhile, according to various studies, concrete production will continue to rise through 2050, especially in developing countries. According to several reports, cement manufacture is one of the largest sources of carbon dioxide in the concrete sector. In addition, overexploitation of aggregates due to concrete production also causes unavoidable natural damage. Bottom ash waste was used as a replacement for cement and fine aggregate as sustainable construction materials. It is envisaged that this research would allow industrial waste to be utilized to its full potential, resulting in a concrete that is more environmentally friendly and minimizes carbon dioxide emissions during the manufacturing process. This study is divided into bottom ash as a cement substitute and bottom ash as a fine aggregate substitute. The engineering properties of the concrete were checked during the experiments in this study when it was fresh and hardened states. The slump test is used to determine the workability of fresh concrete. While for the hardened properties tests consist of compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength, and mass density. The usage of bottom ash as a cement replacement demonstrates that as the composition of bottom ash increases, the performance of the hardened properties of concrete decreases. While using bottom ash as a fine aggregate replacement reveals that the performance of hardened properties has improved as the proportion of bottom ash utilized has increased. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-01-014 Full Text: PDF


This paper consists of the results of an experimental research on the effect of bottom ash as partial replacement of natural sand on the properties of cement mortar. The experimental works were carried out by replacement of fine aggregate with varying percentages of bottom ash i.e. 15%, 20%, 25% and 30%. As the microstructure of mortar matrix changes with varying water cement ratio, the w/c was kept constant i.e. 0.45.Mortar cubes of 70.6mm×70.6mm×70.6mm were casted and vibrated on an electrically operated vibrator. Then various tests including compressive strength, water permeable porosity (apparent porosity), percentage of water absorption, sorptivity were performed on mortar cubes replaced with bottom ash. The results were compared with the results of control mix and all the tests were performed at 3, 7, 28, 56 and 90 days. Based on the results, it is concluded that fine aggregates can be replaced up to 20% with bottom ash in cement mortar.

Glass dust waste creates chronic environmental problems, mainly due to the inconsistency of waste glass streams. Glass is widely used in our lives through manufactured products such as sheet glass, bottles, glassware, and vacuum tubing. Glass is an ideal material for recycling. The use of recycled glass helps in energy saving. The increasing awareness of glass recycling speeds up inspections on the use of waste glass with different forms in various fields. One of its significant contributions is to the construction field where the waste glass was reused for concrete production. The properties of concretes containing glass dust waste as fine aggregate were investigated in this study. Glass dust waste was used as a partial replacement for sand at 10%, 20% and 50% of concrete mixes. Compression strength for 7, 14 and 28 days concrete of age were compared with those of concrete made with natural fine aggregates. The results proved that highest strength activity given by glass dust waste after 28 days. The compressive strength of specimens with 10% glass dust waste content were 32.9373 MPa, higher than the concrete control specimen at 28 days. Using glass dust waste in concrete is an interesting possibility for economy on waste disposal sites and conservation of natural resources.
