-------------------------------------------------------------------------------****------------------------------------------------------------------------------also other strengths such as flexural strength, split tensile Abstract - In our modern world, concrete is one of the strength etc. Even though concrete mixes are most widely used construction materials. One of the main proportioned on the basis of achieving the desired ingredient of concrete is Sand. Recycling of waste materials compressive strength at the specified age, flexural like steel waste (GGBS) and glass cuttings waste (SGP) are strength often play a vital role in concrete making. used partial in fine aggregate to make the concrete durable and leads to greener environment. This is an effort to quantify the effect on properties of GGBS and SGP and to The aim of this project is to minimize cost of the evaluate its efficiencies in concrete. The aim of this project is project and to utilize the GGBS and SGP in concrete and to minimize the disposal risk to nature. Here, Ground to minimize cost of project and to utilize the GGBS and SGP in Granulated Blast Furnace Slag and Sheet Glass Powder are concrete and minimize the disposal risk to nature. This is to indicate that it is possible to manufacture concrete partially replaced to sand in concrete of various levels of 10%,15% , 20% and 25%. The mechanical properties containing GGBS and SGP with characteristics similar to (compressive, split tensile and flexural strength) of those of natural sand or M-sand. Here, GGBS and SGP are partially replaced to fine aggregate in concrete of various concrete and durability properties are determined at different curing periods and were compared with control levels 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. M20 mix. Key Words : Sand replacement, GGBS, SGP, Properties.
2. MATERIALS AND PROPERTIES :
1. INTRODUCTION :
CEMENT :
Concrete is an assemblage of cement, aggregates and water. The most commonly used fine aggregate is sand which is derived from the river banks. Therefore, the consumption of natural sand is very high, that is due to the extensive use of concrete. Concrete is an artificial conglomerate stone made essentially of Portland Cement, water, sand and coarse aggregates. The mixture of the materials results in a chemical reaction called hydration and a change in the mixture from plastic to a solid state. Concrete is the main part of any construction work which is composed of gravels or crushed stones, sand and hydrated cement etc. It has been used over a century in all construction work. Concrete is a composite material. All of its constituents contributes to its properties like fresh and harden properties. Concrete has attained the status of a major building material in all the branches of modern construction. It is difficult to point out another material of construction which is as variable as concrete. Concrete is the best material of choice where strength, durability. Permeability, fire resistance and absorption resistance are required. Compressive strength is considered as an index to assess the overall quality of concrete and it is generally assumed that an improvement of all other properties. Hence, strength investigations are generally centered on compressive strength. There are
