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.

Utilization of waste materials in concrete are increasing day by day. Ingredient replacements in concrete using waste materials are one of such threads which bind nature and concrete in a greener way to provide a better environment for the future. Reduction in environmental pollution, effective usage of waste management, the economic factor and quality of concrete are the predominant aspects by which the replacement materials are chosen.[1] Geopolymer Concrete has emerged as one of the possible alternatives to OPC, since 100% of fly ash is used instead of Portland Cement.. In this present study, the prime material which is used as the source material is fly-ash (ASTMC618) which completely replaces cement..Also fine aggregate has become very expensive and scarcity, quarry rock dust have been replaced for fine aggregate. Almost all the demolition and construction waste have been dumped without any usage which ultimately results in pollution.[2] This prime factor is considered to reutilize recycled coarse aggregate instead of coarse aggregate . A greener aided with natural friendly claim can be made only with the usage of the waste materials. To find the better combination mix, the GPC is categorized into four types as GPC-1, GPC-2, GPC-3 and GPC-4. In all the above combination of mixes fly ash is used as prime source material whereas QRD and RCA are replaced with different combinations. Thus this paper, particularly focuses on the effect of replacement of waste materials in combination of different mixes such as FA+CA, QRD+CA, FA+RCA, and QRD+RCA in GPC. The casted specimens are cured at ambient temperature and after three days of rest period, the casted specimens are tested to determine its mechanical strength properties using standard methodology.

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.

Global warming and climate changes are the major environmental challenges globally. With CO2 emission being one of the main greenhouse gases emitted to the environment, and cement and concrete production amounting to about 10% of the global CO2 emission, there is a need for the construction industry to utilize an environmentally sustainable material as an alternative to cement. This study analyzed the cost, CO2 emission and strength properties of green self-compacting concrete (SCC) ternary blend containing fly ash, calcium carbide residue (CCR), and crumb rubber (CR) as a replacement material by volume of cement, cementitious material, and fine aggregate, respectively. Cement was replaced with fly ash at 0 and 40% by volume. CCR was used as a replacement at 5 and 10% by volume of cementitious materials, CR replaced fine aggregate in proportions of 10 and 20% by volume. The result indicated that the mix with 0% fly ash and 20% CR replacement of fine aggregate was the most expensive and had the highest CO2 emission. However, the mix with 10% CR, 40% fly ash, and 10% CCR had the lowest CO2 emission and was therefore the greenest SCC mix. The 28-day maximum compressive strength of 45 MPa was achieved in a mix with 0% CR, 0% fly ash, and 10% CCR, while the utmost 28-day splitting tensile strength of 4.1 MPa was achieved with a mix with 10% CR, 0% fly ash, and 5% CCR, and the highest flexural strength at 28 days was 6.7 MPa and was also obtained in a mix with 0% CR, 0% fly ash, and 5% CCR. In conclusion, a green SCC can be produced by substituting 40% cement with fly ash, 10% fine aggregate with CR, and 10% CCR as a replacement by volume of cementitious material, which is highly affordable and has an acceptable strength as recommended for conventional SCC.

In present condition to full-fill the demand of sustainable construction, concrete made with different materials is the best choice for the construction industry. Generally, we use materials which are required for conventional concrete and addition to those we replace the low-cost materials such as bottom ash in this project we replace the coal bottom ash & quarry dust to the fine aggregate by variable percentages. Coal bottom ash is the by-product of coal combustion. The rock detritus filled in the fishers of coal become separator from the coal during pulverization. In the furnace, carbon, other combustible matter burns, & the non-combustible matter result in coal ash. The coal ash collector from the electro static precipitators is called fly ash. coal bottom ash constitutes about 20% of coal ash and the result is fly ash. The perfect substitute for reverse sand is quarry dust it is the one of the ingredients in manufacture of concrete the crusher dust is known as quarry dust can be used as alternative material to the river sand. quarry dust possesses similar properties as that of river sand, hence accepted as a building material. The aggregate replaced with concrete in various percentages as both BA and QD (10%,20%&30%). All replacements where done to the m30 grade of concrete. the concrete has been replaced by coal bottom ash accordingly to the percentage, and fine aggregate has been replaced by quarry dust in percentage. concrete mixtures where produced, tested & compared in terms of compressive strength, tensile, flexural strength are evaluated. The curing of cubes, cylinders, & beams is 7days 28days & 90days.

Concrete Production

Concrete is the composite material which is contains cement, coarse and fine aggregate. The real fact is that the concrete production was observed to be 10 billion tons per year, which is double the utilization of other building materials such as timber, steel, etc. Due to the efficient properties of concrete, it is broadly used in the construction of the buildings. To increase the mechanical properties of concrete and to make it more efficient, researcher have been conducting many experiments using various other materials as the substitute of cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. Manufacturing of cement produces more carbon dioxide and thus in turn creates air pollution. In order to decrease carbon dioxide production, minimize the waste materials and to make the concrete eco-friendly and economical, robodust and iron slag has been adopted in this study. In this research, 30% robodust has been replaced with fine aggregate and 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% iron slag has been replaced with cement. The combination of robodust and iron slag replacement with fine aggregate and cement respectively has shown good increase in mechanical properties of concrete in contrast to conventional concrete.

The global consumption of sand by the concrete industry has increased significantly over the years. Natural sand has become a desired commodity in numerous regions of the world. To protect both the existing resources of natural sand and utilize waste materials, drastic actions are urgently needed. The production of cement mortars, which are solely based on fine aggregate, is responsible for the large consumption of natural sand. In the described research program, we proposed to substitute 50 % of the natural sand in mortars with fly ash and slag. The strength properties and durability characteristics of the new mortars were tested. It was proved that mortars with fly ash and slag can be used for specific applications in civil engineering. Areas for future research associated with the mortars in question were also pointed out.
