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

The Paper describes the comprehensive experimental work carried out on M40 grade bacterial concrete containing fly ash. Two types of common soil bacteria namely, Bacillus Pasteruii and Bacillus Odysseyi with a concentration of 105 cells/ml have been used. The optimum cell concentration of bacteria was arrived at by studying its influence on compressive strength of cement mortar matrix. Fly ash of 10 % by weight of cement was used to partially replace OPC in the concrete mixture. The performance of M40 bacterial concrete containing fly ash was assessed by testing the standard specimen for compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength at different ages of curing. Results of investigation indicate significant improvement in 28 days compressive strength in the range of 12% to 27%. Twenty eight days flexural strength and split tensile strength have also shown appreciable increase in the range of 4% to 14% and 11% to 24% respectively. In general, the results of investigation are encouraging and set in positive direction for use of Bacterial concrete in the construction sector during 21st century.

Cement Pastes

Concrete made from ordinary Portland cement is one of the most widely used construction materials due to its excellent compressive strength. However, concrete lacks ductility resulting in low tensile strength and flexural strength, and poor resistance to crack formation. Studies have demonstrated that the addition of graphene oxide (GO) nanosheet can effectively enhance the compressive and flexural properties of ordinary Portland cement paste, confirming GO nanosheet as an excellent candidate for using as nano-reinforcement in cement-based composites. To date, the majority of studies have focused on cement pastes and mortars. Only limited investigations into concretes incorporating GO nanosheets have been reported. This paper presents an experimental investigation on the slump and physical properties of concrete reinforced with GO nanosheets at additions from 0.00% to 0.08% by weight of cement and a water–cement ratio of 0.5. The study demonstrates that the addition of GO nanosheets improves the compressive strength, flexural strength, and split tensile strength of concrete, whereas the slump of concrete decreases with increasing GO nanosheet content. The results also demonstrate that 0.03% by weight of cement is the optimum value of GO nanosheet dosage for improving the split tensile strength of concrete.

Materials are the most important component of building construction. The demands of construction material are increasing day by day significantly. This demand is increasing the material prices and scarcity of material in construction industry. To achieve economical and eco-friendly criteria naturally occurring material is selected. Clay is a natural material and it can be available easily. This paper interprets the experimental investigation on strength of concrete using clay as a partial replacement to binder content (cement) in concrete. The replacement percentages are grouped as 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% of clay and 5% of hydrated lime with cement in each series in M25 grade of concrete. To achieve the pozzolanic property of clay hydrated lime was added. Different tests are performed to determine the optimum percentage of clay as a replacement for binder content (cement) in concrete. The Compressive strength test, split tensile strength test and flexural strength test were performed on the specimens. Total 90 cubes of size 150 mm were prepared for compressive strength test, 30 cylinders of 150 mm diameter and 300 mm height were prepared for split tensile strength test and 30 beams of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 1000 mm were prepared to carry out the flexural strength test. The results are compared to find the ideal proportion of clay as a replacement for cement. It is found that 10% replacement with 5% hydrated lime gives satisfactory results.

Quarry Dust

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.

This research studied strength-characteristics of concrete using waste tyre-rubber as partial replacement for coarse aggregate in concrete construction and compares the results to those of conventional concrete. The specimens were produced with percentage replacements of the coarse aggregate by 5%, 10% and 15 % of rubber aggregate. A control mix with no replacement of the coarse aggregate was produced, to make a comparative analysis. The samples consisted of concrete cubes, cylinders and beams. Various tests (such as slump, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength tests), were conducted. Data-collection was mainly based on the results of the tests conducted on the specimens in the laboratory. The results show that there is a reduction in the compressive strength of the concrete, due to the inclusion of rubber aggregates. Compressive strength losses of 12.69%, 17.75% and 25.33% were noticed for 5%, 10%, 15% replacement of coarse aggregate, respectively; tensile strength losses of 13.01%, 20.12%, and 24.76% were observed, respectively, when 5%, 10%, 15% of the coarse aggregate was replaced, after 28 days of curing; -0.1%, -0.15% and 0.2% decrease in flexural strength was observed for 5%, 10% and 15% replacement, respectively, after curing for 28 days. Rubberised concrete was found to have some desirable characteristics (such as lower density, enhanced ductility, and a slight increase in flexural strength in the lower compressive strength concrete categories). The overall results show that it is possible to use recycled rubber tyres in concrete construction, as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates. Nevertheless, the percentage of replacement should be limited to 10% (which ensures the strength of the concrete is kept within the required range), and the application should be restricted to particular cases where the properties related to the replacement with the rubber aggregates clearly indicate an improvement on conventional concrete, and so are desirable.

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.

Abstract. Light-weight structures are widely used in the construction field. Light-weight fillers such as aggregates can be used to improve weightless structures. Generally, standard aggregates cannot be used to attain the desired weight for light-weight structures. To determine a light-weight filler, the aggregates are made by using fly-ash along with cement mortar. Fly ash was collected from the Mettur Thermal power plant. Cement and fly-ash were mixed in a concrete mixer in a proportion of 30:70 with a water-cement ratio of 0.3 and it is mixed until the pellets are formed. The aggregates are replaced at different percentages such as 0%, 10%, 20%, and 30% respectively to the coarse aggregate. The properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength were taken. The maximum strength was attained at 30% of fly-ash aggregate with a compressive strength of 46.47 N/mm2, split tensile strength of 14.85 N/mm2 and flexural strength of 3.80 N/mm2.

Ambient Curing

Geopolymer concrete (GPC) has significant potential as a more sustainable alternative for ordinary Portland cement concrete. GPC had been introduced to reduce carbon footprints and thereby safeguarding environment. This emerging eco friendly construction product finds majority of its application in precast and prefabricated structures due to the special curing conditions required. Sustained research efforts are being taken to make the product suitable for in situ applications. The developed technology will certainly address the issues of huge energy consumption as well reduce water use which is becoming scarce nowadays. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) a by-product of iron industries in combination with fly ash has proved to give enhanced strength, durability as well reduced setting time. This study investigates the effect of GGBS as partial replacement of fly ash in the manufacture of GPC. Cube and cylindrical specimens were cast and subjected to ambient curing as well to alternate wetting-drying cycles. The 28 day compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and density of GPC specimens were found. The study revealed increase in compressive strength, split tensile strength, density as well flexural strength up to 40 percent replacement of fly ash by GGBS.
