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. Natural fine aggregate are becoming scarcity because of its huge utility in various constitution process the possibility of substituting natural fine aggregate with industrial by product such as waste foundry sand and bottom ash in concrete. This study investigate the effect of waste of bottom ash and foundry sand is equal quantities as partial replacement of fine aggregate in 0%, 20%, 30%, 40% on concrete properties such as compression strength and split tensile strength. This study also aims to encourage industries to start commercial production of concrete products using waste bottom ash and foundry sand.

Self-compacting concrete which commonly abbrevited as SCC is a special concrete that have the ability to consilodate fully under its own self-weight without any internal or external vibration. This paper presents the experimental investigation carried out to study the strength of self-compacting concrete incorporating bottom ash at different replacement level of natural sand. The composite cement was used and the replacement level of bottom ash to natural sand is set up to 30% by volume. The strength properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete at the age of 7 and 28 days of curing day were conducted. Results shows that the strength of the concrete with bottom ash increased up to replacement level 15% higher than control specimens. This show that bottom ash can be used as supplimentary cementitious materials, having the pozzolanic reactivty.

Demand for natural sand in concrete is increasing day by day since the available sand cannot meet the rising demand of construction sector. This paper reports the experimental study undertaken to investigate the influence of partial replacement of cement with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag(GGBFS) in concrete containing quarry dust as fine aggregate. The cement was replaced by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of GGBFS and tests were conducted to determine the optimum level of replacement of GGBFS in quarry dust concrete. The specimens were subjected to compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and bond strength tests at 7days, 28days, 56days, 90days and 150 days. The resistance to corrosion is evaluated based on the performance of the concrete for the penetration of chloride ions by means of impressed voltage technique in saline medium and Gravimetric weight loss method. Results herein reveal that an increase in slag proportion increases the strength properties and decreases the rate and amount of corrosion of reinforcement and among the various percentages of replacement 40% is found to be optimum with better strength and corrosion resistance properties.

Abstract. To overcome the shortage of natural resources for the production of concrete, many waste materials are used to replace the raw materials of concrete. In this way, bottom ash is one of the major industrial wastes which shall be used as the replacement of materials in concrete production. It shall be used to replace the materials either up to one-third. This review brings out the evaluation of the industrial waste material which can be repeatedly used as a substitution for concrete as fine aggregate. This paper reviewed the use of industrial waste i.e., bottom ash as fine aggregate in the concrete. The parameters discussed were physical, chemical, fresh, and hardened properties of the concrete with partial replacement of bottom ash. By reviewing some of the research papers, concluded that 10-15% replacement of fine aggregates is acceptable for all the properties of concrete. High utilization of natural sources -gives the pathway to produce more industrial wastes which are responsible for the development of new sustainable development.

Day By Day

Since  the  construction  industry  is  developing  very  fast  the  requirement  of  concrete  and  their constituent  materials are also increasing day by day. Hence the need becomes in evitable to find various alternate means for the aggregate and accordingly the researchers are going on in this way. But the availability of fine aggregate becomes difficult day by day.  Hence the need arises to find alternative for the fine aggregate. The material which is known as bottom ash is available ash waste by-product material from the thermal power plants.  In  India  most  of  the  thermal  power plants  use  wet  system  for disposal of ash. Bottom ash will be generated as a residue after burning pulverised coal at boiler cyclone and collected from bottom ash hopper located under boiler structure. In this project work the material bottom ash is experimentally analysed and studied for its suitability as replacement as fine aggregate up to (0% to 50%). So far few researchers analysed its suitability as FA by finding the compressive strength of concrete. But  in  this  project  work the  split  tensile  strength  of  concrete  and  flexural  strength  of concrete were analysed by replacing bottom ash as fine aggregate.

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 proposed study present behaviour of concrete with inclusion of waste foundry sand (WFS), waste glass, and glass fiber in different concrete trial mixes. Waste foundry sand (WFS) is basically by-product formed from metal casting industries ferrous or non-ferrous, which due to rapid concrete construction in world used as an alternative of sand. Waste glass can be used in concrete in crushed form as a replacement of aggregate or in powdered form as a replacement of cement, the only problem with waste glass is it is prone to alkali-silica reaction due to different composition of different types of glasses. Glass fiber is added with waste glass and waste foundry sand (WFS) to increase strength. Normal concrete grade M25 (1:1:2) is used for this experimental purpose, different concrete trials were casted which consist of replacement of sand with waste foundry sand in different proportion (0%, 10%, 20%, and 30%). Next trial consists of optimum value of (WFS) with different proportion of waste glass (0%, 10%, and 20%, 30%) as a replacement of fine aggregate. Final trial consists of addition of glass fiber (0%, 0.25%, 0.50%, and 0.75%) in optimum value of second trial. Mechanical properties of concrete compressive strength, split-tensile strength, flexural strength was examined at 7, 14, 28, and 56 days curing period.
