The economy of a developing country depends to a great extent on the construction industry. Developing countries like India are investing heavily in infrastructure development. The excessive exploitation of natural resources for construction threatens the sustainability of aggregates and poses a number of serious problems. At the same time, the disposal of fly ash and stone residues in landfills cause several environmental crises and pollute the environment. This article deals with a study on the structural behavior of the partial replacement of fine natural aggregates by 0 -40% crystal stones in order to obtain the flow properties of fly-ash-based self-compacting concrete (SCC) by using super plasticizers. Many tests have been done to test the feasibility of using crystal stones in M30 grade SCC. On the basis of the results obtained, the optimum percentage of fine aggregates with crystal stone was calculated at 30% and it was concluded that the increasing percentage of crystal stone replacement by fine aggregates did not affect its workability. The structural performance of simply supported RCC beams of size 150 × 200 × 1500 mm made from SCC with crystalline stone was tested

Abstract: This paper gives a review on self compacting concrete(SCC) to be made as partial replacing of cement by fly ash and metakaolin and partial replacing of fine aggregate with copper slag. Day by day production of concrete is increasing due to requirement of concrete is increasing with sufficient mechanical and durable properties in construction industry. Self compacting concrete is the special concrete which has ability of passing and filling of every corner of the congested area. So many researches are going on to increase mechanical and durable properties of SCC. Due to shortage of natural aggregates, researches are going on to use by-products or waste material as fine aggregate. Copper slag is a by-product produced during the process of production of copper. To achieve good mechanical and durable properties of self-compacting concrete cementitious material places an important role. Metakaolin and fly ash are used as the partial replacement of cement. In this paper an overview on the literature on mechanical behaviour of self-compacting concrete with partial replacement of cement by fly ash and metakaolin and partial replacement of fine aggregate with copper slag. Keywords: self compacting concrete, copper slag, fly ash, metakaolin, mechanical properties, durability

Large quantity of the quarry dust gets produced annually in the quarries during the extraction of the crushed coarse aggregate. As a result, disposal problems of this material gain significant momentum as these disturb environmental systems also. Now-a-days many of the countries like India is facing problems of ban on the extraction of sand and lacunae in procuring of fine aggregate, which is important constituent of the concrete. To overcome this problem, present study is focused on the suitability to utilize the quarry dust in Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) partially as fine aggregate with the natural fine aggregates. In this work, quarry dust is used as replacement of sand in a different level (0%, 15%, 30%, 45% and 60%) for producing the SCC. Fresh properties such as slump flow and V-funnel time have been measured for all mixes and hardened properties as compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength of the concrete have been checked for all the mixes and it has been found that optimum utilization of quarry dust up to 30% can been done to produce SCC without compromising with its properties.


Concrete is a material which widely used in construction industry. The present investigation deals with the study of partial replacement of fine aggregate by Nylon Glass Granules in concrete. The fine aggregates are replaced by 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% by Nylon Glass Granules by volume of natural sand in M35 grade of concrete. Additionally, to increase the tensile strength of concrete 1% of Steel Fiber by volume of cement were added to all the mixes containing Nylon Glass Granules. The concrete produced by such ingredients were cured for 7 and 28 days to evaluate its hardened properties. The 28days hardened properties of concrete revealed that maximum strength is observed for the mix which possesses 20% replacement of fine aggregate by Nylon Glass Granules compared with the conventional concrete, thus it is said to be the optimum mix

Waste tire disposal continues to pose a threat to the environment due to its non-biodegradable nature. Therefore, some means of managing waste tires include grinding them to crumb rubber (CR) sizes and using them as a partial replacement to fine aggregate in concrete. However, the use of CR has a series of advantages, but its major disadvantage is strength reduction. This leads to the utilization of calcium carbide waste (CCW) to mitigate the negative effect of CR in self-compacting concrete (SCC). This study investigates the durability properties of SCC containing CR modified using fly ash and CCW. The durability properties considered are water absorption, acid attack, salt resistance, and elevated temperature of the mixes. The experiment was conducted for mixes with no-fly ash content and their replica mixes containing fly ash to replace 40% of the cement. In the mixes, CR was used to partially replace fine aggregate in proportions of 0%, 10%, and 20% by volume, and CCW was used as a partial replacement to cement at 0%, 5%, and 10% by volume. The results indicate that the mixes containing fly ash had higher resistance to acid (H2SO4) and salt (MgSO4), with up to 23% resistance observed when compared to the mix containing no fly ash. In addition, resistance to acid attack decreased with the increase in the replacement of fine aggregate with CR. The same principle applied to the salt attack scenario, although the rate was more rapid with the acid than the salt. The results obtained from heating indicate that the weight loss was reduced slightly with the increase in CCW, and was increased with the increase in CR and temperature. Similarly, the compressive strength was observed to slightly increase at room temperature (27 °C) and the greatest loss in compressive strength was observed between the temperature of 300 and 400 °C. However, highest water absorption, of 2.83%, was observed in the mix containing 20% CR, and 0% CCW, while the lowest water absorption, of 1.68%, was found in the mix with 0% CR, 40% fly ash, and 10% CCW. In conclusion, fly ash is recommended for concrete structures immersed in water, acid, or salt in sulphate- and magnesium-prone areas; conversely, fly ash and CR reduce the resistance of SCC to heat beyond 200 °C.

In addition to the known uses of natural clays, less publication attention has been paid to clays returned to the production process. Industrially recovered natural clays such as bricks, tiles, sanitary ceramics, ceramic roofing tiles, etc., are applicable in building materials based on concrete as an artificial recycled aggregate or as a pozzolanic type II addition. In this way, the building products with higher added value are obtained from the originally landfilled waste. This paper details the research process of introducing concrete with recycled brick waste (RBW) up to the application output. The emphasis is placed on using a RBW brash as a partial replacement for natural aggregates and evaluating an RBW powder as a type II addition for use in concrete. A set of the results for an RBW is reported by the following: (a) an artificial RBW fine aggregate meets the required standardized parameters for use in industrially made concrete, (b) a RBW powder is suitable for use in concrete as industrially made type II addition TERRAMENT showing the same pozzolanic reactivity as a well-known and broadly used pozzolan-fly ash, and (c) such an RBW as aggregate and as powder are, therefore, suitable for the production of industrially made TRITECH Eco-designed ready-mixed concrete.

This research aimed to utilize Anadara Granosa (Blood clam shell) clamshell waste as a new innovation in concrete technology and to investigate the effect of Anadara Granosa clamshell powder utilization as an aggregate substitution on the concrete compressive strength. The sample size was made of cylinders with a size of 10 cm x 20 cm with variations of clamshell powder 10%, 20% and 30% from the fine aggregate volume then soaked for 28 days as per the method of the Indonesian National Standard. The evaluation results exhibited that the slump value exceeded the slump value of normal concrete with a slump value of 0% = 160 mm, 10% = 165 mm, 20% = 180 mm and 30% = 180 mm. Additionally, it was found that the concrete compressive strength obtained post 28 days were 20.78 Mpa, 21.95 Mpa, 21.17 Mpa and 24.28 Mpa for normal concrete (0%), substitution concrete (10%), substitution concrete (20%) and substitution concrete (30%), respectively. Leading on from these results, it was concluded that the increment of Anadara Granosa clamshell powder substitution led to the increase of concrete compressive strength test.
