Abstract:
Cement, fine and coarse aggregates, and water are the ingredients of concrete. The ideal amounts of chebula powder 0.25%, 0.5%, 0.75, and 1% are used to improve the concrete's workability and strength. Concrete mixes can be made more workable by adding chebula powder. The percentage of cement that can be replaced with alccofine1203rangesfrom5% to15%. A supplementary cementitious material (SCM) called Alccofine 1203 increases the compressive strength and durability of concrete. Cement replaces 10%, 20%, and 30% of the quartz powder.

By filling the pores and capillary voids, Alccofine 1203 can increase the workability of concrete and decrease its permeability.

1. INTRODUCTION
One of the most important building materials that has shaped sophisticated infrastructure and development techniques is concrete. Concrete, which is made up of a mixture of cement, aggregates, water, and admixtures, provides a remarkable blend of strength, flexibility,anddurability.Bystrengtheningitsresistance to elements like chemical attack, abrasion, or corrosion of reinforcing materials, chemula powder can be added to concrete to increase its durability. This improvement maybefacilitatedbytheexistenceofcertaincomposites in Chebula, which are comparable to tannins and
polyphenols. Chebula powder could aid in decreasing concrete's permeability, increasing its resistance to water intrusion and possibly strengthening its defenses against chemical access and freeze-thaw cycles. Alccofine-1203,sometimesreferredtoaspolycofine,isa cementitious ingredient. It is extensively utilized in the building sector. Rice husks are burned to create the highly reactive, finely granulated powder known as Alcofine-1203. ALCCOFINE-1203 is a pozzolanic. Stated differently, it is a substance that forms a cementitious compound when it combines with calcium hydride in water.
2. OBJECTIVES
1. To examine how adding Chebula powder, Alccofine 1203, and Quartz powder as supplemental cementitious materials affects concrete's mechanical qualities, including its tensile and compressive stren1.gths, in comparisontoregularconcrete.
2. To assess the environmental sustainability and durability properties (such as permeability, water absorption, and resistance to chemical attack) of concretemodifiedwithquartzpowder,Chebulapowder, andAlccofine 1203, withthegoal ofimprovingconcrete performance while lowering the carbon footprint of cementitiousmaterials.
3. MATERIALS
3.1 Cement: As an essential component of mortar and concrete that secures and binds building components, cement plays a critical function in urban infrastructure. Whereasmortariscomposedofcement,water,andlime aggregate, concrete is created by combining cement, water, sand, and gravel in precise amounts. Both are used to fill in spaces, seal joints, bind materials like bricks and stones, and make ornamental designs. Cement works well for waterproofing purposes because it combines with silicates and aluminates to create a hardened,water-repellentmaterialwhencombinedwith water.
3.2 Fine aggregate: The majority of the natural sand particles that make up fine aggregates pass through a

3/8-inch filter and are sourced from crushed stone or mining. Zone II-compliant fine aggregate is utilized in thisexperimentalinvestigation.
3.3 Coarse aggregate: Coarse aggregate is made up of big, sturdy particles thatusuallyrange insize from 4.75 mmto40mm,likeslag,crushedstone,orgravel.Itisthe mainload-bearingelementinconcrete,givingitvolume, stability, and structural strength. The formation of a robust, dense concrete matrix, increased durability, decreasedshrinkage,andimprovedmechanicalqualities oftheconcreteareallmadepossiblebycoarseparticles.
3.4 Water: Concreterequireswaterbecauseitstartsthe hydration process, which allows cement to solidify and bind aggregate particles together. The amount and qualityof waterinthemixturehavea bigimpacton the concrete's strength, durability, workability, and setting time. To balanceworkabilityandstrength,thewater-tocement ratio must be carefully regulated. Too much water weakens the concrete and increases porosity, while too little water makes it difficult to handle and compact.
3.5 Chebula powder: The dried fruits of Terminalia chebula, also referred to as haritaki, are the source of this natural, finely powdered powder. It is used extensively in traditional medicine and as an environmentally friendly ingredient since it is high in tannins, antioxidants, and bioactive chemicals. Chebula powder is being investigated for its potential as an additional material in construction to improve the durabilityandstrengthofconcrete.
3.6 Alccofine 1203 : Alccofine 1203, a micro-fine mineraladditionthatismostlymadeofcalciumsilicatebased minerals, is frequently used to enhance the performance of concrete. By decreasing permeability and improving hydration efficiency, it improves workability, strength, and durability. Alccofine 1203, which has an ultra-fine particle size, works especially well in self-compacting and high-performance concrete applications.
3.7 Quartz powder : Natural quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral formed of silica (SiO₂) that is pulverized into a fine powder. It serves as a filler and additive to enhance the mechanical qualities, strength, and durability of concrete, and is widely utilized in a variety of industries, including construction. For highperformance concrete applications, its tiny particle size andchemicalstabilitymakeittheperfectmaterial.
