Abstract: Pervious concrete is a concrete containing little or no fine aggregate; it consists of coarse aggregate and cement paste. It seems pervious concrete would be a natural choice for use in structural applications in this age of ‘green building’. It consumes less raw material than normal concrete (no sand), it provides superior insulation values when used in walls, and through the direct drainage of rainwater, it helps recharge groundwater in pavement applications. Due to increase in construction and demolition activities all over the world, the waste concrete after the destruction is not used for any purpose which leads to loss of economy of the country. India is a developing country where urbanization is increasing rapidly which in turn leading to increase of drainage facilities. Pervious concrete helps to allow the water flow into the ground due to interconnected pores. Natural aggregate is becoming scarce, production and shipment is becoming more difficult. In order to overcome this problem, there is need to find a by-product, which can be used to replace the aggregate in conventional concrete mix.

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.

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.

This study aimed to determine the influence of peat water on the mechanical properties of the paving block (compressive strength and water absorption) using coconut shell waste and fly ash as raw material. The background of the research were the lack utilization of fly ash, preparation for the handling and utilization of fly ash from power station at Pulang Pisau and Tumbang Kajuei (under construction), and the utilization of coconut shell to be more effective and economical. Paving block specimens were immersed in peat water to determine the effect of peat water and the rest were immersed in plain water. This experiment used fly ash as a partial replacement of cement and 2% coconut shell as a partial replacement of fine aggregate. The results of the analysis showed that: (a) Paving block using fly ash and coconut shells which were immersed in plain water experienced the increase in compressive strength and the decrease in water; (b) Paving block using fly ash and coconut shells soaked in peat water showed that by the increase of age, compressive strength was decrease and water absorption was increase; (c) The compressive strength of paving block specimens immersed in plain water and peat water showed relatively similar values at 7 and 28 days age, (d). Water absorption in paving block specimens soaked both in plain water and peat water showed relatively similar values at 7 days age, but at 28 days age the specimens immersed in peat water had greater water absorption.

The overall production of the cement has greatly increased which results lots of problems in environment as it involves the emission of CO2   gas.  Environmental concerns, stemming from the high energy expense and carbon dioxide emission associated with cement manufacture have brought about pressures to reduce cement consumption through the use of supplementary materials. Materials such as Metakaolin, fly ash have good pozzolanic activity and are a good material for the production of high strength concrete. Copper slag is a by-product of copper extraction by smelting. Copper slag can be used in concrete production as a partial replacement for sand. However, it is expected that the use of Metakaolin, Fly ash and Copper slag in concrete improves the strength properties of concrete.

Abstract Foundry sand waste can be utilized for the preparation of concrete as a partial replacement of sand. The strength properties of M25 grade concrete are studied with different percentages of replacement of fine aggregates by foundry sand at 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. The optimum percentage of foundry sand replacement in the concrete corresponding to maximum strength will be identified. Keeping this optimum percentage of foundry sand replacement as a constant, a cement replacement study with mineral admixtures such as silica fume (5%, 7.5%, 10%) and fly ash (10%, 15%, 20%,) is carried out separately. The maximum increase in strength properties as compared to conventional concrete was achieved at 40% foundry sand replacement. Test results indicated that a 40% replacement of foundry sand with silica fume showed better performance than that of fly ash. The maximum increase in strengths was observed in a mix consisting of 40% foundry sand and 10% silica fume. SEM analysis of the concrete specimens also reveals that a mix with 40% foundry sand and 10% silica fume obtained the highest strength properties compared to all other mixes due to the creation of more C-H-S gel formations and fewer pores.

Purpose In the construction sector, river sand has turned into a costly material due to various reasons. In the current study, used foundry sand (UFS) and spent garnet sand (SGS) are used as a partial and full replacement to sand in concrete production. Design/methodology/approach The objective of the work is to develop non-conventional concrete by replacing river sand with a combination of UFS (constant 20Wt.% replacement) and SGS at various percentages (20, 40, 60 and 80 Wt.%). Findings Compared to conventional concrete, the 28 days compressive strength of non-conventional concrete (with UFS at 20% and spent garnet sand at 20%, 40% and 60% were 8.12%, 6.77% and 0.83% higher, respectively. The 28 days split tensile strength of non-conventional concrete (UFS at 20% and SGS at 20 and 40%) were 32.2% and 51.6% higher, respectively. Research limitations/implications It can be concluded that 60 Wt.% of river sand can be combined replaced with 20 Wt.% UFS and 40 Wt.% SGS to produce good quality concrete whose properties are on par with conventional concrete. Practical implications The results showed that combined SGS and UFS can be used as a partial replacement of river sand in the manufacturing of concrete that is used in all the applications of construction sector such as buildings, bridges, dams, etc. and non-structural applications such as drainpipes, kerbs, etc. Social implications Disposal of industrial by-product wastes such as SGS and UFS affects the environment. A sincere attempt is made to use the same as partial replacement of river sand. Originality/value Based on the literature study, no work is carried out in replacing the river sand combined with SGS and UFS in concrete.

The utilization of waste materials from the industries has been continuously gaining emphasis in the construction work recently. The present work is to use Processed Granulated Blast Furnace Slag Sand and Fly ash as combined replacement for river sand and ordinary Portland cement respectively. M35 grade of concrete with W/C 0.4 will be adopted with two percentages of cement replacement by Fly Ash i.e, 30% and 40%, along with this the slag sand is varied from 0% to 100% in step of 20%. In first variation, 30% Fly Ash is replaced by cement and slag sand is varied as 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. In second variation, 40% GGBS is replaced with cement and slag sand is varied as 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. For all mixes compressive strength, split tensile and flexural strength will be determined at different days of curing. The strength of cube specimens, cylinders and beams will be determined and compared with conventional concrete specimens. The beams are tested for flexure, under two point loading condition. Different parameters will be investigated in detail. In this paper literature is reviewed in detail to understand the experimental analysis.
