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 the concrete has been replaced by coal bottom ash accordingly to the percentage, and fine aggregate has been replaced by quarry dust in percentage.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.

Ground coal bottom ash is considered a novel material when used in common cement production as a blended cement. This new application must be evaluated by means of the study of its pozzolanic properties. Coal bottom ash, in some countries, is being used as a replacement for natural sand, but in some others, it is disposed of in a landfill, leading thus to environmental problems. The pozzolanic properties of ground coal bottom ash and coal fly ash cements were investigated in order to assess their pozzolanic performance. Proportions of coal fly ash and ground coal bottom ash in the mixes were 100:0, 90:10, 80:20, 50:50, 0:100. Next, multicomponent cements were formulated using 10%, 25% or 35% of ashes. In general, the pozzolanic performance of the ground coal bottom ash is quite similar to that of the coal fly ash. As expected, the pozzolanic reaction of both of them proceeds slowly at early ages, but the reaction rate increases over time. Ground coal bottom ash is a promising novel material with pozzolanic properties which are comparable to that of coal fly ashes. Then, coal bottom ash subjected to an adequate mechanical grinding is suitable to be used to produce common coal-ash cements.


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.

Over the centuries, concrete is commonly been used in construction world due to its properties. From the conventional concrete until the concrete that has been diversify with innovations, the usefulness is still the same, which is as building materials. One of the innovations called Self-Compaction Concrete (SCC). SCC is a type of concrete that does not require any mechanical compaction at all. This type of concrete will leveled and compacted under its self-weight. Such concrete will accelerate the placement, reduce the labor requirements needed for consolidation, finishing and eliminate environmental pollution. In terms of sustainability, previous researchers have recycled so many waste in SCC for example coal ash, silica fume, hydraulic lime, rice husk ash and fine limestone powder. Recently, recycling fly ash and bottom ash in SCC has grasped the attention of researchers as it demonstrated promising results. Furthermore, previous investigations already confirmed the potential of fly ash and bottom ash in replacing aggregates in SCC represents a better option than landfill and at the same time will decrease pollution problem especially in coal combustion area. This paper reviews the fly ash and bottom ash replacement in SCC.

Coal fly ash (CFA), coal bottom ash (CBA) are residues produced in thermo-electrical power stations as result of the coal combustion in the same boiler. Therefore, some characteristics of the coal fly ash (CFA) are comparable with those of the coal bottom ash (CBA). Nevertheless, coal bottom ash size is larger than coal fly ash one. Consequently, it was found that it is necessary to grind the coal bottom ash (CBA) to reach a similar size to that one of the CFA. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the performance of Portland cement mortars made with coal fly ash (CFA), coal bottom ash (CBA) or mixes (CFA+CBA), against sulphate attack. The methodology is based on the expansion of slender bars submerged in a sodium sulphate solution (5%) according to the ASTM C-1012/C1012-13 standard. It has been found that mortars elaborated with CEM I 42.5 N (without ashes) presented the largest expansion (0.09%) after a testing period of 330 days. Mortars made with CEM II/A-V exhibited lower expansion (0.03%). Summing up, it can be established that mortar expansion decreases when the coal ash amount increases, independently of the type of coal ash employed. The novelty of this paper relies on the comparison between the performances of Portland cement mortars made with coal fly ash (CFA) or coal bottom ash (CBA) exposed to external sulphate attack. Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091640 Full Text: PDF


The present paper focuses on the effective utilization of byproduct of stone mines and waste plastic causing harm to the environment. It signifies sustainable utilization of quarry dust to their full potential to meet the needs of the present, while at the same time conserving natural resources and finding ways to minimise the environmental impacts associated both with quarry fines production. Mathematical modeling for interpreting modulus of elasticity of concrete mixes using ordinary river sand and compared with 0, 25%,50%,75%, 100% replacement with quarry dust in combination with waste plastic in fabriform is discussed. The addition of fine quarry dust with ldpe as waste plastic in concrete resulted in improved matrix densification compared to conventional concrete as well as . Matrix densification has been studied qualitatively through petro graphical examination using digital optical microscopy. The structure was evaluated using SEM in quarry dust and ldpe composites. It is observed that the modulus of elasticity values found to be maximum for 50% replacement of natural sand by quarry dust and waste plastic. The effects of quarry dust on the elastic modulus property were found to be consistent with conventional natural sand.

AbstractConcrete is generally produced using materials such as crushed stone and river sand to the extent of about 80-90% combined with cement and water. These materials are quarried from natural sources. Their depletion will cause strain on the environment. To prevent this, bottom ash produced at thermal power plants by burning of coal has been utilized in this investigation into making concrete. The experimental investigation presents the development of concrete containing lignite coal bottom ash as fine aggregate in various percentages of 25, 50, and 100. Compressive, split tensile, and flexural strength as part of mechanical properties; acid, sulphate attack, and sustainability under elevated temperature as part of durability properties, were determined. These properties were compared with that of normal concrete. It was concluded from this investigation that bottom ash to an extent of 25% can be substituted in place of river sand in the production of concrete.


Eco sand is a very fine particle, which is a by-product from the cement manufacturing industry by semi-wet process and it can be a good alternative for natural river sand. Due to its very finely powdered crystalline silica particles present in that which can replace up to 50% of conventional sand usage in concrete and mortars. It can be used in the concrete by replacement of fine aggregates by a certain percentage which gives much more efficiency. In this paper, the hardened properties like cube compressive strength, cylinder split tensile strength, and prism flexural strength are studied with various replacements cement with fly ash like 0 % and 30% and sand with eco sand-like 0%,30%,40%,50% and 60%. The results are compared with conventional concrete specimens. Experimental results also show that the hardened properties of concrete are increased by a certain amount when compared with the normal placed concrete specimens. During the study Due to replacement of fine aggregate with eco sand for workability conditions by some amount of chemical admixtures have been added

ABSTRACTPond ash is a mixture of fly ash, bottom ash and other ash materials in a pond/lake/beach, pond ash materials are very overload and become waste, so the research of coal ash waste (pond ash) as a substitute of fine aggregate (sand) to increase the compressive strength of concrete influence of time function , were examined using cylindrical specimens of 100 mm diameter and 200 mm height. The specimens were made by taking a percentage ratio of pond ash by 0%: 5%: 10%: 15% and 20% in the mixture with a constant water cement ratio 0.49 based on the results of a normal concrete mix of f’c 25 MPa. The result of analysis of compressive strength to the time function obtained value at the age of 1 day the calculation results do not deviate from the equity line position, after the age of 3 and 7 days. The compressive strength test of concrete resulted in the value of over estimate means that the value of the test result is lower than the result of the equation can be stated that the hardening process of the concrete press is slow, while the age of 14, 28 days and so on the contrary is the result of compressive strength below the equity line or under estimate means the result value the test is higher than the result of the equation so that it can be stated that the process of hardening presses the concrete faster.Keywords: Coal Ash, Pond Ash, Compression strength concrete, time function.ABSTRAKPond ash adalah campuran bahan fly ash, bottom ash dan abu lainnya dalam sebuah kolam, bahan pond ash sangat melimpah dan menjadi limbah, maka di teliti pengaruh bahan limbah abu batubara (pond ash) sebagai pengganti sebagian agregat halus (pasir) terhadap peningkatan kuat tekan beton pengaruh fungsi waktu, diteliti menggunakan spesimen berbentuk silinder diameter 100 mm dan tinggi 200 mm.

In the present study, dense graded bituminous mix specimens are prepared using natural aggregate as coarse aggregates, bottom ash as fine aggregates and coal ash as filler. Proportion of aggregate for dense graded bituminous macadam (DBM) grading has been considered as per MORTH (2013) having nominal maximum aggregates size (NMAS) 26.5 mm. The bitumen used is VG20. Firstly, bottom ash and fly ash was used as fine replacement in DBM mix. In this, the total coal ash content is taken as 35% by weight of the total mix, from which the percentage of fly ash as mineral filler is fixed, i.e. 5% of weight of the mix. The bottom ash content is varied according to the DBM gradation specified in MORTH (2013). Detailed study with Marshall test results were used to determine the Marshall characteristics, optimum binder content and also optimum use of coal ash. The maximum stability value of 11.826 kN was achieved when 14% of coal ash by weight of the mix was mixed for preparing DBM samples. It is finally observed that results are not only satisfactory, but also much improved engineering properties with coal ash as fine aggregate and filler. Utilization of non-conventional aggregate like coal ash may help to find a new way of bituminous pavement construction.
