The paper aim is to acknowledge the use of Quartz Sand (silica sand) & Metakaolin in replacement of natural sand and cement. As the natural sand is depleting at an alarming rate due to perpetual mining and on other side the emission of co2 from production of cement causing global warming. The M30 grade is prepared as well as evaluated for strength characteristics viz. split tensile, compressive and flexural. Ordinary Portland cement is replaced with metakaolin at 0,10,20,30,40 and 50%, while the fine aggregate is replaced with Quartz sand at 40% constant by weight. The specimens are casted and tested for split tensile, compressive and flexural strengths after curing for 7,14,28 days.

Slurry Seal

Slurry Seal is an impermeable non-structural thin layer that is used for pavement maintenance consisting of a cold laid mixture of asphalt emulsion with continuous graded fine aggregate, mineral filler, water and other added ingredients. Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) as the main filler in the application of slurry seal. Due to the relatively high cement prices and the pollution control for the environment; it is required to maintain the quality of the slurry by using a combination of OPC and LCFA (Low Calcium Fly Ash). This research was conducted to determine the value of consistency, setting time and indirect tensile strength (ITS) of slurry seal containing LCFA. A consistency testing used to obtain optimum moisture content to produce the sample for the rest of the test. The results show that with the addition of 5% water for pre-wetting and subsequently 10% of water content, the mixture provide appropriate consistency as required by highways standard. The time settings also meet the requirements of highways standard between 15 to 720 minutes for all types of mixtures. The mixture with composition of 50% OPC and 50% LCFA is considered as an ideal mixture at the optimum density value of 1.769 g/cm3, porosity of 9.55% and the indirect tensile strength of 30.99 kPa. It could be concluded that fly ash can be used as OPC partial replacement and enhance the properties on slurry seal application.

Ordinary Portland Cement Concrete

The reason of this attempt was to demonstrate that seashells can be utilized as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in concrete for enhancing strength properties. Since seashells are widely available everywhere in coastal and seashore areas, and some of the concrete materials cannot be found easily everywhere.  The strategies utilized as a part of this attempt was to replace burnt and crushed seashells with fine aggregate at 10%, 20% and 30% and compare it with each other and the traditional Ordinary Portland Cement concrete regarding mechanical properties following 7 and 28 days. In conclusion, despite the fact that seashells are generally accessible and can be effortlessly gathered from seashore and beach front regions, the process of burning and crushing requires a lot of energy and is tedious. In spite of the fact that the results demonstrated that utilizing 20% seashell to fine aggregate substitution has a somewhat higher in compressive and flexural properties than that of Ordinary Portland Cement concrete.

Self Compact Concrete

This document demonstrates the possibility of using foundry sand waste as a partial replacement of sand in self-compact concrete. Self-compacting concrete, as the name implies, is a type of concrete that does not require an external or internal seal because it is aligned and consolidated under its weight. Foundry sand is a high-quality silica sand that is used as a molding material for the ferrous and non-ferrous metal casting industry. It can be reused in foundries, but after a certain period it cannot be used further and becomes waste, called waste, used or used foundry sand (WFS, UFS or SFS). This experimental study was conducted to assess the strength and strength of SCC properties in which natural sand was partially replaced by foundry sand waste (WFS). Natural sand was replaced by four percent (0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30% and 40%) WFS by weight.

Roller compacted concrete (RCC) is a special type of concrete with zero or even negative slump consistency. In this work, it had aimed to produce an RCC mix suitable for roads paving with minimum cost and better engineering properties so, different RCC mixes had prepared i.e. (M1, M2, M3, and M4) using specified percentages of micro natural silica sand powder (SSP) as partial replacement of (0%, 5%, 10%, and 20%) by weight of sulfate resistant Portland cement. Additionally, M-sand, crushed stone, filler, and water had been used. The results had obtained after 28 days of water curing. The control mix (M1) had satisfied the required f ‘c with accepted results for the other tests. M2 mix with SSP of 5% had achieved the highest results. The f ’c for sawed cubes of (10*10*10) cm had increased by 2.26% and 3.16% when tested in directions (ꓕ and //) to the direction of loading respectively. R results for sawed prisms of (38*10*10) cm had increased by 8.78% and 8.43% when tested on top and bottom faces respectively. The density had increased by 1.04% while the absorption and volume of permeable voids had decreased by 8.11% and 7.83% respectively. The UPV results had also increased by 2.44% and 0.81% for cubes and prisms respectively when compared to the control mix. M3 mix with SSP of 10% had also achieved satisfactory results when compared to the control mix.

Sugarcane Bagasse Ash

Concrete has been the world’s most consumed construction material, with over 10 billion tons of concrete annually. This is mainly due to its excellent mechanical and durability properties plus high mouldability. However, one of its major constituents; Ordinary Portland Cement is reported to be expensive and unaffordable by most low-income earners. Its production contributes about 5%–8% of global CO2 greenhouse emissions. This is most likely to increase exponentially with the demand of Ordinary Portland Cement estimated to rise by 200%, reaching 6000 million tons/year by 2050.  Therefore, different countries are aiming at finding alternative sustainable construction materials that are more affordable and offer greener options reducing reliance on non-renewable sources. Therefore, this study aimed at assessing the possibility of utilizing sugarcane bagasse ash from co-generation in sugar factories as supplementary material in concrete. Physical and chemical properties of this sugarcane bagasse ash were obtained plus physical and mechanical properties of fresh and hardened concrete made with partial replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement. Cost-benefit analysis of concrete was also assessed. The study was carried using 63 concrete cubes of size 150cm3 with water absorption studied as per BS 1881-122; slump test to BS 1881-102; and compressive strength and density of concrete according to BS 1881-116. The cement binder was replaced with sugarcane bagasse ash 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% by proportion of weight. Results showed the bulk density of sugarcane bagasse ash at 474.33kg/m3, the specific gravity of 1.81, and 65% of bagasse ash has a particle size of less than 0.28mm. Chemically, sugarcane bagasse ash contained SiO2, Fe2O3, and Al2O3 at 63.59%, 3.39%, and 5.66% respectively. A 10% replacement of cement gave optimum compressive strength of 26.17MPa. This 10% replacement demonstrated a cost saving of 5.65% compared with conventional concrete.

the article proposes a rational method for processing 3D printing concrete scrap using vibration equipment, which allows obtaining a multicomponent building material with minimal electricity consumption. As a crite-rion for the degree of grinding of concrete scrap, it is proposed to use the specific surface area of the finely dispersed part of concrete scrap, which should correspond to 400-500 m2/kg. The possibility of reusing the resulting product instead of the traditional fine aggregate of quartz sand is shown. It was found that the con-crete scrap without the addition of Portland cement hardens, reaching up to 48% of the compressive strength of the control samples by 28 days. When 10% of the binder CEM I 42.5 N was added to the concrete scrap processing product, the compressive strength of fine-grained concrete increased by 106.6%, and 20% of Portland cement - by 112.2 %, compared to the strength of control samples of a similar composition on tra-ditional quartz sand after 28 days of hardening. It is noted that this is primarily due to the weak contact zone of quartz sand and the cement matrix of concrete. The use of the product of processing concrete scrap al-lows obtaining building composites based on it with the complete exclusion of natural raw materials

AbstractA quaternary supplementary cementitious materials as partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement decreases CO2 emission. This paper has investigated the properties of mortars made from different quaternary blends of wood ash, steel slag powder and glass powder with ordinary Portland cement at different replacement levels of 0, 24, 25, and 30% by weight of the binder. The blended mortar mixtures tested for flow, compressive strength and density. The results showed that the flow of mortars is decreased with the combined use of steel slag powder, glass powder, and wood ash compared with control mix. Compressive strength reduced with the combination of steel slag powder, glass powder and wood ash but this reduction effects is acceptable especially at 24% replacement contain super-plasticizer compared with the ecological benefit.
