Demand for natural sand in concrete is increasing day by day since the available sand cannot meet the rising demand of construction sector. This paper reports the experimental study undertaken to investigate the influence of partial replacement of cement with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag(GGBFS) in concrete containing quarry dust as fine aggregate. The cement was replaced by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of GGBFS and tests were conducted to determine the optimum level of replacement of GGBFS in quarry dust concrete. The specimens were subjected to compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and bond strength tests at 7days, 28days, 56days, 90days and 150 days. The resistance to corrosion is evaluated based on the performance of the concrete for the penetration of chloride ions by means of impressed voltage technique in saline medium and Gravimetric weight loss method. Results herein reveal that an increase in slag proportion increases the strength properties and decreases the rate and amount of corrosion of reinforcement and among the various percentages of replacement 40% is found to be optimum with better strength and corrosion resistance properties.

Concrete plays important role in the construction of structures. The need for concrete increases day by day. Material required for concrete are getting depleted, so there is a requirement to find alternatives. At the same time the alternative materials should posses the property of the actual materials used in concrete and also they must provide the required strength to the concrete. Normally Concrete is firm in compression but anemic in tension and shear. The purpose of this study is to find the behaviour of concrete reinforced with hybrid macro fibers. By adding Glass fibers in percentages like 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%& 0.8% to the concrete, the properties like compressive, flexural and split tensile strength are investigated. The optimum percentage of glass fiber was found to be 0.4%. Quarry dust has been widely used in structures since ancient times. The present study is aimed at utilizing waste Quarry dust (WQD) in construction industry itself as fine aggregate in concrete, replacing natural sand and also by adding the optimum percentage of glass fibers. The replacement is done partially and fully in the various proportions like 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% and its effect on properties of concrete were investigated. The optimum percentage of the concrete by adding 0.4% of glass fiber and the proportions was found to be 25%.

Rapid Urbanization

Now a days, infrastructure development holds the key for the development of every nation. Concrete is one of the most utilized material by the construction industry which is a homogeneous material prepared of heterogeneous materials like Cement, sand and aggregates. However rapid urbanization has created a huge demand for natural sand hence made it even more expensive. This led the researchers to find other materials which could be used as a replacement of sand whose main chemical composition is Silica (SiO2). After a great extent of research, researchers found that materials like Stone dust, Copper Slag, Coal Fly Ash, Carbonate Sand etc. having silica composition could be used as a replacement of sand. The Present experimental investigation is carried out for M20 grade of concrete mixes with partial replacement of Fine Aggregate (Sand) with Copper Slag. Compressive Strength and Split Tensile Strength at the ages of 7, 28 days for various combinations of Copper Slag and Sand were investigated. Sand was replaced with Copper Slag by 0%,10%, 30%, and 50%.

In recent years, it is a fact that the quantity of good quality natural sand goes on draining. In most of the regions, river sands are abused, which results in severe environmental problems, river banks stability and the safety of bridges. The excessive transportation cost is the major impact for the river sands to be more expensive. In the total concrete volume, about 65 to 80% is occupied by the aggregates. These problems can be overcome by using slag instead of sands. Slag is a by-product which is made from metal industries like glass, ash plastics, etc as waste materials. These slags are a fine substitute and coarse aggregate to be cast in the concretes and mortarscompositions. In accordance, for replacing fine aggregate several research works are carried out and that solved by using copper slag. Replacing sand with copper slag of about 40% is proven by most of research as an efficient aggregate. Our research, industrial by-products are applied in order to increase the 40% copper slag. This composition will be a fine aggregate in concrete to 50%, 60%. In another way by using silica fume or marble dust in 10%, 20% and 30% it will be fine aggregate for the concretes

Test Result

In Current scenario, the CO2 concentration is getting increased in the environment which leads to climatic change and greenhouse effect. By using zeolite powder (pozzolanic material),it can reduce the CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Using zeolite as partial replacement material of cement could make the concrete high strength, hence it eco-friendly. Used Foundry Sand (UFS) is an industrial by-product which is another material used in this research. The UFS can be used as a replacement for natural sand due to its properties.The present research work is aimed at studying the effect of the physical and chemical properties of Zeolite and UFS in M20 grade concrete. Based on previous literature 10, 15 and 20 % of Zeolite as replacement of cement and 30 % of UFS as replacement of sand are considered for the present study. The main objective is to estimate the test result of using Zeolite and UFS as partial replacement for cement and fine aggregates in fresh and hardened properties of concrete. Compressive strength and split tensile strength were carried out for 7,14 and 28 days and flexural strength of element will be observed from optimum percentage of test result.
