This study involves the experimental investigation of effect of fly ash and dry sludge on the properties of fly ash bricks. On seeing the present day demand for bricks, an attempt is made to study the behavior of bricks manufactured using, different waste materials like dry sludge and fly ash. The main aim of this work was to compare the compressive strength of the bricks. The disposal of sludge has always been by dumping in the soil, this has hazardous effect on the air and environment at large. They can be recycled for use in construction industry without producing any harm to human and environment. Research has shown that they can be used in manufacturing of cement. Sludge and fly ash mixed with Quarry dust and cement in various percentage keeping the Quarry dust and cement with constant percentage of 30% and 20% respectively, while fly ash is replaced with sludge from 0% to 100% consequently with 20% replacement. The result shows that fly ash and sludge together can be used in the alternative bricks, the compressive strength and water absorption is good and weight of the brick is reduced up to10% from the nominal bricks.

Ion Penetration

Even though the use of fly ash in concrete is nowadays a common practice, its relatively slow pozzolanic reactivity hinders its greater utilization; hence efficient methods of activation are on demand. This study was carried out to evaluate the influence of lime as a chemical activator on the mechanical and durability properties of high strength fly ash concrete. Mixtures were made with 0, 30, 40, and 50% of cement replaced by low calcium fly ash. Corresponding mixtures were also made with the same amount of fly ash and addition of 10% of lime to each mixture. For each concrete mixture, slump, compressive strength, water absorption, sorptivity, apparent volume of permeable voids, and resistance to chloride-ion penetration were measured. The results obtained showed that addition of lime improved the compressive strength significantly at all ages. The strength of all the fly ash mixtures containing lime surpassed that of the corresponding Portland cement mix at 60 days. Addition of lime also improved the sorptivity and resistance to chloride-ion penetration of the fly ash concrete. It however increases the water absorption and the volume of permeable voids of the fly ash concrete.

Light weight concrete has been an area of interest for a lot of researchers over the years. While reducing the weight of concrete, mechanical strength and durability should not be compromised. Use of GGBFS and fly ash as partial replacement of cementitious material has been proved effective from various studies previously done. Along with the weight reduction, waste recycling is also an important concern for the researchers. Various waste materials like plastic particles, quarry dust, rubber powder etc. are studied for their effectiveness as a partial replacement for fine aggregates. Common issue with most of the filler materials is the strength reduction occurring with their addition. Apart from mechanical strength tests, micro structure study on the specimens will help to analyse the effect of addition of each material in detail. Keywords— Aerated concrete, GGBFS, quarry dust, rubber powder, plastic particles.

Foamed Concrete

Foamed concrete is an innovative and versatile lightweight building material, which is a cement-based mortar consisting of at least 20% of its volume filled with air. Use of lightweight foamed concrete blocks with densities less than 1800 kg/m3 as infills will lead to the design of slender sections. Further, the thermal insulation properties of foamed concrete blocks made it more popular in construction industry. This paper discusses the development of foamed concrete building blocks for load bearing and non-load bearing structures. To make the mix more sustainable, the feasibility of fly ash as a partial replacement to cement is also explored. The variables considered for the production of foamed concrete are foam volume, water/powder (mix of cement and fly ash) ratio, fly ash content and sand/powder ratio. Analytical model is also developed for compressive strength and dry density of foamed concrete considering different variables and it is validated. Compressive strength is found to be increasing with the increase in dry density and with increase in fly ash content. Thermal conductivity is observed to be reduced by the addition of fly ash content

Curing Age

Abstract In recent years, there has been a lot of attention paid to the use of textile sludge waste-based products in the building industry to develop ecologically friendly construction materials. An experimental examination of the characteristics of bricks incorporating textile sludge waste and fly ash is presented in this work. In fly ash bricks, fly ash is used to replace textile sludge waste in the following proportions: For the blend percentage of cement, fly ash, and quarry dust, a 230mm × 100mm × 75mm sample size was used. For varying amounts of the components indicated previously, the findings indicate how compressive strength and water absorption fluctuate with curing age. Then we can cast bricks with various mixed proportions of cement, sludge waste, fly ash, and quarry dust using the 230mm × 100mm × 75mm specimen size. After that, the weight, compressive strength, and water absorption of textile sludge with different concentrations of fly ash bricks were compared. This inquiry is primarily concentrated on maximizing the compressive strength of newly produced bricks while limiting weight density and water absorption through extensive laboratory work. The recognition of elements influencing the diverse qualities of bricks is a clear purpose of pursuing this issue as project work.

Abstract Fly Ash (FA) is one of the waste materials generated from the combustion of solid waste through incinerator and contains hazardous substances. Further treatment to the ash needs to be done to avoid further environmental destruction. As an alternative solution for this problem, FA is used as a replacement material for cement in the mortar. The main objective of this study is to explore the potential use of FA as partial replacement of cement in mortar. The percentage of FA used to replace the cement in this study is 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%. Several important tests were conducted to identify main properties of the mortar such as compressive strength, water absorption, density and ultra-pulse velocity. Mortar containing 15% of fly ash has the highest of compression strength which is 35 MPa after 28 days. Besides, the mortar containing 5% of fly ash has the highest result of water absorption test and density test whereas mortar containing 20% of fly ash has the highest value for pulse velocity after 28 days. Thus, mortar containing fly ash has good physical and mechanical properties.

This research was carried out to investigate the effect of partially replacing cement with quarry dust in cement-sand mortar. Tests including setting times, water absorption, compressive strength and density test were carried out on mortar with cement partially replaced with 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% quarry dust and presented. Experimental results show that replacement of quarry dust as partial replacement of cement in cement-sand mortar decrease the initial and final setting times of cement paste and increase the water absorption of the mortar. The partial replacement shows an improvement of compressive strength at 5% quarry dust content after which there is a decrease with increase in quarry dust content at all the ages. The increase in compressive strength at 5% indicates possible pozzalanic activity at that level. Thus quarry dust can be utilized as cement replacement material at 5% dust content. Above this it can be utilized as fine aggregate replacement for use in low-strength mortar applications
