Dealing with mineral tailings is one of the most important topics for solving the environmental problems in the mining industry. Among the techniques converting stacked molybdenum tailings to reusable cleaner products, one of the most effective ones is to use molybdenum tailings in concrete productions. The physical properties including density, microscopic structure and finesse module, and chemical composition of molybdenum tailings are similar with those of natural sand. The radionuclide assessment of molybdenum tailing meets the requirements for using as structural materials. Therefore, Molybdenum tailing is suitable to be used as the replacement of cement and fine aggregates in mortar and concrete. Based on the results of strength and duration performance comparison, the usage of molybdenum tailing as a replacement of natural sand is a more feasible way than that of ground super-fine molybdenum tailings in cement binder. It is feasible to use molybdenum tailings as fine aggregate in the preparation of structural concrete. When the amount of ground super-fine molybdenum tailings replacing cement is less than 10%, it is beneficial to improve the freeze-thaw and carbonization resistance of the concrete.

Sheet glass powder (SGP) used in concrete making leads to greener environment. In shops, near by Chidambaram many sheet glass cuttings go to waste, which are not recycled at present and usually delivered to landfills for disposal. Using SGP in concrete is an interesting possibility for economy on waste disposal sites and conservation of natural resources. This paper examines the possibility of using SGP as a replacement in fine aggregate for a new concrete. Natural sand was partially replaced (10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%) with SGP. Compressive strength, Tensile strength (cubes and cylinders) and Flexural strength up to 180 days of age were compared with those of concrete made with natural fine aggregates. Fineness modulus, specific gravity, moisture content, water absorption, bulk density, %voids, % porosity (loose and compact) state for sand (S) and SDA were also studied. The test results indicate that it is possible to manufacture concrete containing Sheet glass powder (SGP) with characteristics similar to those of natural sand aggregate concrete provided that the percentage of SGP as fine aggregate is limited to 10-20%, respectively.

Object Of Study

In this study, the influence of partial introduction as glass as fine aggregate on the composition of simple concrete is analyzed, considering that sand (fine aggregate currently used) has been used on a large scale in civil construction over the years and has been affecting the environment. The main objective of this research was to analyze the mechanical properties of concrete, partially replacing the natural sand with another fine aggregate made from glass residues, evaluating the behavior presented at the end of each test using different percentages of this material as fine aggregate in the concrete composition. From an experimental methodology that consisted of determining an object of study (concrete), selecting the variable that would possibly be able to influence it (glass powder) and defining the ways of controlling and observing the effects that the variable would produce on the object, an interpretation of how the mechanical properties of the glass powder that affect the performance of structural concrete is presented. The granulometry was subsequently analyzed, the tests carried out both in the fresh and hardened state of the concrete, and identified that the glass in a certain percentage proves to be viable. Finally, it can be concluded that the partial inclusion of glass affects the mechanical properties of structural concrete, and can present quite satisfactory results, both related to the environment, since the sand would not be used entirely as fine aggregate or in reaching a resistance suitable for its final use.

The challenge before the construction industry is to meet the demand of the efficient and economically viable construction materials posed by the huge infrastructural needs. Many nations are observing an expeditious growth in the field of construction necessitating the utilization of natural reserves for the expansion of infrastructure. This expansion is giving a warning to available reserves of nature. The natural ingredients, fine aggregates and coarse aggregate constitute more than 70% volume of the concrete. The availability of these resources is decreasing at a very high pace. In fact due to the severe problem with the availability of natural sand, the construction industry is faced with the pressing need to consider available options to lessen the reliance on natural aggregates. Copper slag being a waste material, can be used as an option for fine aggregates. The substitution of fine aggregate from nature with waste materials from industries such as copper slag offers economic and technical dominance, which are of pronounced significance in the present scenario. This study is, based on the critical review of the development of High Performance Concrete (HPC) by replacing fine aggregate with copper slag by observing various other researches and reviews. The key intent of this paper is to closely look at the copper slag utility as an unconventional material to be used as a substitute of fine aggregate and its effect on mechanical and durability parameters of HPC.

Concrete is a compound material composed of fine aggregates and coarse aggregate bonded together with fluid cement that hardens over time.The deficit of natural sand arises the need of alternative materials for replacement of natural sand. The squashed stone residue which is locally accessible modern strong waste material is ordinarily utilized as a fine aggregate in concrete. In the current examination, an exploratory program was carried out to consider the compressive and split tensile quality of concrete made utilizing stone residue as halfway substitution of fine aggregate at an increment of 10%. Zeolite is a pozzolanic material and its pozzolanic action improves the compressivestrength of concrete. Natural zeolites are supplementary cementitious materials. By adding zeolite, the investigation on the experiments will be carried out to determine the compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete made using zeolite as partial replacement of cement up to 20 percent at an interval of 5 percent just as the way Stone dust is being replaced to achieve the objective of the project, M30 grade of concrete is prepared. The cube and cylindrical samples shall be tested after a curing period of 7 & 28 days.

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.

Fine Aggregate Angularity (FAA) has been identified as one of the important aggregate properties contributing to the stability of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) and its resistance against permanent deformation. The performance of dense graded asphalt mixture is significantly influenced by the shape, angularity and surface texture of fine aggregates. This study determines the FAA for different types of aggregates namely granite and natural sand and evaluates the rutting resistance of AC 10 mixture added with the aforementioned aggregates. Marshall test and wheel tracking test were carried out in order to assess stability and rutting resistance. It was found from FAA test, crushed granite has higher percentage of FAA (46%) compared to natural sand (37%). With higher FAA value, crushed granite mix was found to have better stability, stiffness, and flow compared to specimen with natural sand. From wheel tracking test, it was observed that the rut depth for specimen with crushed granite is lower compared to specimen with natural sand. Therefore it can be concluded that fine aggregates with more angular shape, provides better stability and increase the rutting resistance.

This paper reports an expermiental study on mechanical behaviors of structural concrete using recycled aggregates from repeatedly recycling waste concrete. Five series of natural aggregate concretes with compressive strengths of 25MPa, 30MPa, 40MPa, 50MPa and 60MPa were used as recycled coarse and fine aggregates to produce recycled concrete with an objective compressive strength of 30MPa after they were cured for 28d. These recycled concretes were used as aggregates to produce concrete with the same objective compressive strength of 30MPa. The cycles were carried on until the indices evaluating the quality of recycled coarse or fine aggregate exceeded the tolerance. The mechanical behaviors of these concrete were tested. The results indicates that that with the increase of the cyclic number, the mechanical properties of recycled concrete, including compressive strength, tensile splitting strength, modulus of elasticity, gradually stabilize after obviously decreaing in the first instance.
