Disposing electronic plastic waste into construction materials is an eco-friendly and energy efficient solution to protect the environment. This work is aimed at enhancing the strength of self-compacting concrete (SCC) replacing sand with electronic waste, namely, High Impact polystyrene (HIPS) plastic granules and cementitious material with fly ash. SCC is designed with the optimized binder content of 497 kg/m3 using Fly Ash (30% by weight of cement) and 0.36 as water-to-binder ratio for all the mixtures. High Impact Polystyrene granules are replaced with sand up to 40% (by volume) at a regular interval of 10%. Rheological behavior is observed with the slump flow test for slump diameter, V-funnel test for flow time, and the L-box test for heights ratio, respectively. Strength behavior is studied by performing split tensile strength, and compressive strength tests after a period of 7, 28, and 90 days, respectively. Both fly ash and HIPS aggregate in addition to SCC up to 30% exhibits a minimal strength reduction with a promising performance in workability. Hence incorporation of both fly ash and HIPS granules up to 30% in SCC is a viable eco-friendly technique, with the beneficial economic impact on the construction industry.

The persistent reliance on traditional construction materials is of no gain to the future generation. The rate at which the natural aggregate sources are explored is alarming, and as a result, the threat of depletion of the natural materials has inspired interest in sustainable construction materials, focusing on construction and demolition wastes and local materials. In this study, an experimental insight on modified concrete, based on workability, strength and microstructural properties, is provided, in an attempt to ascertain the suitability of silica-rich aggregates (ceramic industry wastes and laterite) as a replacement for conventional fine and coarse aggregates. Various mix proportions were considered, and material batching was done by weight for concrete casting. The workability test, using slump, indicates that the flowability of the modified concrete mixes is achievable at a water-binder ratio of 0.6. The strength properties of the concrete increased with the increasing ceramic substitution for granite while increasing laterite content beyond 10% negates the strength gain by the concrete. A concrete mix containing 90% ceramic fine and 10% laterite, as fine aggregate, and 100% of cement and ceramic coarse, as binder and coarse aggregate, respectively, gave higher compressive strength (22.5 MPa), and split-tensile strength (3.6 MPa), and these results were found as comparable to the conventional concrete.

With an objective of saving the environment by providing crumb rubber as an alternative to natural fine aggregate this paper presents a study carried out to find the mechanical properties of rubberized concrete. Rubberized concrete is made up of waste rubber from vehicle tyres and other rubber waste which otherwise is left out polluting the environment. In this paper, 7.5% of crumb rubber (obtained by shredding the vehicle tyres) as an alternative to fine aggregate and 7.5% of fly-ash as an alternative to cement is added with other ingredients of concrete to produce an eco-friendly concrete which can be used economically and effectively for construction along the coastal areas. Various properties like workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength was carried out on concrete specimens exposed to the natural marine environment along the coast of Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The total exposure of concrete specimen was about 150 days, and various specimens were tested at 7, 28, 90, 120 and 150 days, respectively. The test results showed that with a slight compromise in strength, the workability of concrete and resistance to the effect of seawater on the strength of concrete significantly improved with the addition of crumb rubber and fly-ash.

The utilization of thermal power plant waste ashes (fly ash and bottom ash) in concrete as partial replacement of cement and sand could be an important step toward development of sustainable, user-friendly and economical infrastructure. For this purpose, different concrete mixes were considered at constant binder content of 300kg/m3 and differ water-to-binder ratio (w / (c + f) mainly as 0.5 , 0.55 and 0.6. Also six wide range of fly ash replacement levels (f/c ratio) namely 0, 0.11, 0.25, 0.43, 0.67 and 1.0 were introduced in the experimental scheme. The 3-days to 180 days compressive strengths of FACB was measured at interval of 3, 7, 28, 56 and 90 days. This study also presents a relationship between the ratios of split tensile (ft) strength to compressive strength (fc). It is applicable to lean concrete having consideration of curing period at early age (3day) to long term (180days). The results of this investigation are principally important, because the comprehensive information on the dependability of the relationships has not been available for (w/c+f) and bottom ash combination. The investigational results of this work are indicated that waste-Bottom ash with the regular sizes can be used successfully as a fine aggregate in fly ash concrete (FAC). The Study also reflected in finding constant “k” by ACI code equation for fly ash and bottom ash mix concrete. It has obtained between 0.337 - 0.504. This could be useful in finding splitting tensile strength when concrete carrying fly ash and bottom ash.

The purpose of this experimental research is to study the flexural behavior of Ferro-Geopolymer slab panels. Initially the ratio of binder to fine aggregate (1:2, 1:2.5, 1:3) and the ratio of Na2SiO3/ NaOH solution (2.5) is considered. The different combination of Fly ash and GGBS were considered. Ratio of alkaline liquid to binder ratio is fixed as 0.45. The Geopolymer mortar mix that gives compressive strength nearly equal to M20 grade concrete target mean strength was used to cast Ferro-Geopolymer slab panels. A slab of size (1000X1000X30) mm were cast of both ferrocement and Ferro-Geopolymer slab panels with two types of mesh were used such as square woven and square welded with single and double layers. Based on the results of slab load vs deflection of both types of meshes were compared from the characteristics of such as first crack load and ultimate load.

China is the world’s largest emitter of fly ash, an industrial by-product of coal combustion. Motivated towards greener development, China’s engineering industries must determine how to effectively utilize this by-product, while ensuring environmental and public safety protections. This study investigated the use of fly ash instead of fine aggregate in concrete mixtures with a focus on concrete shrinkage. A series of experiments were performed in which fly ash substitution levels, water-binder ratios, and ambient humidities were each respectively and exclusively varied to determine changes in the concrete’s drying and autogenous shrinkages. Experimental results indicated that the substitution of fly ash consistently decreased the drying shrinkage relative to ordinary concrete; a substitution level of 25% optimally reduced the drying shrinkage by 20.81%. A substitution level of 15% decreased the autogenous shrinkage relative to ordinary concrete, whereas higher levels (25, 35, and 45%) increased it. Ambient humidities also affected the concrete shrinkage, but the water-to-binder ratio effects were negligible. Drying shrinkage largely occurred before 28 d, whereas autogenous shrinkage continued after 28 d. Based on these experimental results, we evaluated common theoretical shrinkage models and subsequently developed a modified shrinkage model for application to concrete containing fly ash as fine aggregate.

Electrical and electronic waste (E-waste) has become a great matter of concern all around the world. Due to the fast growth in kinescope technology, Cathode Ray Tubes (CRTs) are being replaced by lighter and thinner panels with flat displays, namely – Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) and Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs). The environmental hazards caused by CRTs waste generation have become an extensive dilemma around the globe. Lead is contained in sufficient amounts in the waste CRTs, which causes serious hazards to human health and the environment. The increasing demand for concrete and natural resources due to swift urbanization has made it crucial to replace the natural aggregates in concrete either as a partial replacement or total replacement, without affecting the concrete performance. CRT waste glasses are abundant in silica, have low water absorption property and adequate intrinsic strength. These characteristics of CRT waste glass make it apt for usage as pozzolan or sand in construction materials. They can be partially or totally replaced for natural sand as fine aggregate in concrete. This review work extends an in-depth summary of literature detailing the reuse of CRT glass waste as a fine aggregate replacement in concrete. The properties such as water performance, thermal property, strength and durability of CRT glass waste-based concrete and their method of manufacturing have also been studied in this paper. Furthermore, a comparative performance analysis of CRT glass waste concrete with other E-waste incorporated concrete has also been included in this paper. The current work shall contribute to enhancement towards sustainability and economic development of CRT glass waste incorporated concrete in the construction industry. Thus, the issues related to CRT glass waste such as contamination of soil, environment and water bodies, health issues caused to living beings and simultaneously, the degradation of natural restricted aggregate resources could be reduced considerably by several folds.

Due to increased construction practices there was a very high demand in consumption of raw materials that are to be used in concrete. In the raw materials, sand is one of the major construction materials that is consumed adequately. It’s presence will be vanished due to excessive digging .The effect will be to the nearby localities .As well the stability hydraulic structures nearby river banks will be affected with this. To reduce digging practices the fine aggregate was partially replaced with waste crushed glass in 0%,10%,20%,30% andv40% along with 0.25%Super plasticizer SP 430 to achieve workability. The crushed glass is non-biodegradable and cannot be disposed off, also causes several environmental effects. By utilizing this waste as a useful material in the form as replacing material of fine aggregate we can reduce the waste content and in the same way it can be used as a resource. In order to check the concrete strength and durability tests like Compressive strength test, Split tensile strength test, Flexural strength test for 7,14,28 days curing and acid attack test, rapid chloride permeability test, Abrasion tests were conducted. SEM tests are also conducted on concrete with replaced fine aggregate. The current research work describes the proper utilization of waste crushed glass as a useful construction material.

The main objective of this paper was to present the results of experimental investigation carried out to study the structural behaviour of ferrogeopolymer elements under flexure. Initially the properties of geopolymeric binder prepared using the source materials such as Fly ash and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) without conventional cement have been investigated. The different parameters considered in this study are the ratio of binder to fine aggregate (1:2 and1:3) and the ratio of Na2SiO3 to NaOH solutions (2.0 and 2.5). The various combinations of Fly ash and GGBS considered are 90% & 10% and 80% & 20%. The alkaline liquid to binder ratio is fixed as 0.45. The individual properties of mortar such as Compressive Strength and Density were determined as per relevant Indian standards. The geopolymer concrete mix that gives the highest compressive strength was used to cast the ferrogeopolymer structural slabs. Four numbers of rectangular slabs of size 800 mm x 300 mm x 25 mm were prepared with two types of meshes such as mild steel and galvanized iron weld mesh with single and double layers. Based on the test results Load-Deflection curves were drawn and the effectiveness of mild steel and galvanized iron weld meshes was compared from the characteristics such as first crack load, ultimate load, energy absorption and ductility.
