Experimental and Analytical Study on Properties of C-25 grade Concrete Replacing Corse Aggregate by Ceramic waste and Fine Aggregate by Stone dust

Abstract

Concrete is the most widely used man made construction material in construction industries. It is mainly composed of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water. The properties of concrete are mainly affected by its ingredient’s types, quantity and quality. The cement is used to bind the materials in concrete. Fine aggregate and coarse aggregate will fill the most of the spaces in concrete. There are numerous materials that can replace each constituent in concrete. In this study grinded CW was used to partially replace coarse aggregate and SD is replaced fine aggregate at 0% ,5% 𝐶𝑊 − 25% 𝑆𝐷, 10%𝐶𝑊 − 50%𝑆𝐷, 15% 𝐶𝑊 − 75%𝑆𝐷, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 20%𝐶𝑊 − 100% 𝑆𝐷 dosage by weight proportion to evaluate various strength parameters like compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength. Concrete is strong in compression but it is weak in tension, brittle, low resistant to cracking, lower impact strength and heavy weight. CW and SD are one of the solid wastes in our surroundings which mostly pollute the environment condition. In order to overcome such types of problems related to pollution of environment the study deals the engineering property of concrete with CW and SD waste. Workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength test were performed to determine the competence of reusing CW and SD in the production of concrete. The average of three identical sample tests for each strength was used to determine the strength of concrete and tested at 7, 14, and 28 days of curing age. All cubes were made with 150𝑚𝑚 × 150𝑚𝑚 × 150𝑚𝑚, cylinders with 100mm diameter and 200 mm height and beams with cross-section 100𝑚𝑚 × 100𝑚𝑚 and length of 500mm size. The study result revealed that the density increases for all percentage replacement, mechanical strength of concrete decreases with increasing dosage of CW and SD and workability decreases with the increase of CW and SD. The optimum dosage was found to be 10% 𝐶𝑊 − 50% 𝑆𝐷. At optimum the compressive strength decreases up to 2.93%, tensile strength decreases by 2.4% and flexural strength decreases by 3.67% 𝑓𝑜𝑟 10% 𝐶𝑊 − 50% 𝑆𝐷 replacement in the concrete mix when compared with control concrete. The analytical simulation is done by ABAQUS version 6.14.5 on flexural strength of beam to check the load control and modulus rupture to validate with experiment
