STUDY ON COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE BY USING WASTE MATERIAL

Abstract

The utilization on fly ash in concrete as a partial replacement of cement is gaining immense importance
today, mainly on account of the improvements in the compressive strength of concrete combined with ecological
benefit. Technological improvement of thermal power plant operation and fly ash collection system have resulted the
improving consistency of fly ash. To study the effect of partial replacement of cement by fly ash, studies are conducted
on concrete mixes with cementitious material at 5% , 10% , 15% replacement levels. In this study the effect of fly ash
and waste material on compressive strength are undertaken. Chemical admixture is used for improving workability of
concrete. sikament 600HP NPC (C01) as a plasticizer. The utilization of brick (waste material) as a partial replacement
of aggregates is another aspect undertaken. The proportion of bricks used in concrete mixes shall be 5% , 10% ,
15%.The concrete mix design for standard concrete that is grade M40 with different percentage of fly ash can be
directly designed & than it will be compared with normal concrete.
