This document summarizes research into developing new construction materials using nano-silica and recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste. Experiments were conducted to examine how nano-silica and recycled aggregates influence the compressive strength, modulus of elasticity, water absorption, density, and void volume of concrete. Replacing cement with three levels of nano-silica (0.75%, 1.5%, and 3%) in both natural aggregate concrete and recycled aggregate concrete was tested. The results showed that nano-silica improved early compressive strength and offset the reduction in strength from using recycled aggregates. Additionally, recycled aggregates led to increased water absorption and voids but reduced density, while nano-silica enhanced density and reduced water absorption and
The comparative study of recycled aggregate and natural aggregate also the comparison between recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) and Natural aggregate concrete(NAC) in various aspects.
Strength Properties of Concrete Containing Waste Glass PowderIJERA Editor
The aim of this paper is to study the behavior of M-30 grade of concrete to determine the compressive strength
and split tensile strength by partially replacement of cement by waste glass powder. Cement was partially
replaced by waste glass powder in 10%, 20% and 30% by weight. All the tests were performed according to
Bureau of Indian standards. The results thus obtained were compared and examined with respect to the control
specimen. The addition of waste glass powder enhances its compressive strength as well as split tensile
strength. The optimum percentage of partially replacing cement by glass powder was 10% which showed the
maximum improvement in compressive and split tensile strength.
Bituminous mixes are most commonly used all over the world in flexible pavement construction. It consists of asphalt or bitumen (used as a binder) and mineral aggregate which are mixed together, laid down in layers and then compacted. Under normal circumstances, conventional bituminous pavements if designed and executed properly perform quite satisfactorily but the performance of bituminous mixes is very poor under various situations. Today’s asphaltic concrete pavements are expected to perform better as they are experiencing increased volume of traffic, increased loads and increased variations in daily or seasonal temperature over what has been experienced in the past. In addition, the performance of bituminous pavements is found to be very poor in moisture induced situations. Plastics are everywhere in today’s lifestyle and are growing rapidly throughout particularly in a developing country like India. As these are non-biodegradable there is a major problem posed to the society with regard to the management of these solid wastes. Low density polyethylene (LDPE) has been found to be a good modifier of bitumen. Even, the reclaimed polyethylene originally made of LDPE has been observed to modify bitumen. In the present study, an attempt has been made to use reclaimed polyethylene which has been obtained from plastic packets used in packaging of a very popular brand of milk named AMUL, in dry form with the aggregates like a fibre in a bituminous mix. Detailed study on the effects of these locally waste polyethylene on engineering properties of Bituminous concrete (BC), Dense Bituminous macadam (DBM) and Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) mixes, has been made in this study.
The comparative study of recycled aggregate and natural aggregate also the comparison between recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) and Natural aggregate concrete(NAC) in various aspects.

The Coupled Effect of Nano Silica and Superplasticizer on Concrete Fresh and ...IJMER
The The effect of individual and combined additions of both nano silica (NS) and
polycarboxylate-ether superplasticizer (SP) admixtures on concrete mixes were studied. Twenty concrete
mixes were prepared, keeping the water/cement ratio constant at w/c = 0.40, with different amounts of
SP admixture, and NS. the superplasticizer was studied in the range of (0 – 0.88)% (over cement weight),
nano silica additions were tested at (0 – 3.00)% range (over cement weight). Early, and late
compressive strengths, as well as results of fresh concrete (slump) test of formulations were evaluated by
means of design of experiments, in order to identify the primary factors and their interactions on the
measured properties. The most desirable NS and SP % were determined. The results showed that
regardless of the used NS percentage, the higher compressive strength results were reached at, or
around SP observed saturation dosage (0.66% by weight cement). The statistical approach applied here
enabled to develop relations, which could adequately describe the dependency of both the compressive
strength, and slump on the composition of NS, and SP concretes. These relations were presented as
contour plots, which from a practical point of view could serve as a basis for mix design
EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH AND DURABILITY PROPERTIES ...IAEME Publication
Global warming has emerged today as life-threatening issue for the world. As concrete is one the most consumed material after water on the earth for infrastructure & construction industries, a commendable contribution cam be made by optimizing the use of cement and natural resources in
concrete manufacturing. Geopolymer concrete is one of the major developments in recent years leading to utilization of fly ash in large quantities and thus reducing cement consumption and ultimately reducing emission of CO2 in order of one tonne per a tonne of cement. Mechanical & Durability properties of concrete structure is another important parameter affecting the
sustainability of concrete technology in addition to minimizing use of virgin material.
EFFECT OF NANO-SILICA ON CONCRETE CONTAINING METAKAOLINIAEME Publication
In this paper the results of an experimental investigation on the use of Metakaolin (MK) and Nano-Silica (NS) on various properties of concrete are presented. Metakaolin and Nano-Silica are used as partial replacement of cement for the preparation of concrete. In the present investigation initially cement is partially replaced by Metakaolin 5% and 10% by weight. Further investigation is carried out by combined replacement of Metakaolin at 5% and 10% with Nano-Silica at 1%, 2% and 3% by weight of cement. For structural applications the various properties, such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, modulus of elasticity and flexural strength of M25 grade concrete containing MK and NS are evaluated and the results are compared with the controlled concrete. Based on the test results, it can be observed that concrete prepared with a combination of 5% MK and 2% NS indicated increased strength compared to the controlled concrete.

Compressive strength of concrete with fly ash, nanosilica and recycled aggregateeSAT Journals
Abstract In this study, concrete mix was prepared using recycled aggregates (RA) which were retrieved from demolished concrete blocks. Pozzolanic materials like fly ash (FA) and nanosilica (NS) were used as partial replacement of cement by weight in varying percentages i.e. 10%, 20% 30% and 2%, 3%, 4% respectively. The experimental work was focused on investigating the effect of nanosilica and fly ash on fresh properties and compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). To examine the fresh properties of concrete, slump test was performed for workability requirements. It was observed from experimental results that with the increase in percentage of recycled aggregates in concrete, compressive strength decreases but workability was not affected up to 50% variation of recycled aggregates. Results showed that with the addition of nanosilica compressive strength of concrete was increased but workability was decreased with the increase in percentage of nanosilica. The use of fly ash in addition to nanosilica (30% RA+3% NS + 10% Fly Ash) improved both the workability and compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Keywords: Compressive strength, Recycled aggregates (RA), Nanosilica (NS), Fly Ash (FA), Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC).
An Experimental Study on Compressive Strength of Fiber Reinforced High Streng...IJERD Editor
The use of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) is gaining importance throughout the globe due to
the depleting sources of natural aggregate and disposal problem of demolished waste. The advancement in the
prestressed concrete technology and multistoried structures has given impetus for making concrete of high
strength. Also, it is well established that the fibers make concrete ductile. The aim of this research work is to
determine the suitability of glass fibers for use in structural recycled aggregate concrete of high strength. The
fresh and hardened state properties of partially replaced recycled aggregate concrete, with varying percentages
of glass fibers, are compared with the corresponding conventional aggregate concrete. The compressive, split
tensile and flexural strengths of M50 grade concrete with various replacement levels of coarse aggregate were
done . The maximum values of all these strengths were obtained at 1.5% of fiber content
Analysis on concrete made from over burned bricksIJARIIT
Concrete is a composite material used for the ground that all considerate designing structure is developed with concrete
in an efforts to find an alternative material in concrete much work has been focused to use brick aggregates in producing normal
strength or even higher strength by far the most common course aggregates used in concrete is obtained from natural rock, but
type of rock suitable for concrete making is not available locally and everywhere. However, there is hardly any literature
producing previous concrete using bricks chips as course aggregates. The research was conducted to study the suitability crushed
over burnt bricks as alternative course aggregates for concrete production. The concrete cube beams and cylinders of M-25, M-
30, and M-35 grade were thrown in this trail explore work and try to analyze different properties of concrete with crushed over
burnt bricks as an alternative material. The physical properties like compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and
workability with alternative material was used with a dosage of 10%, 20% and 30% in concrete with the age of 7, 14, 28 and 50
days of curing. The general properties of fresh and hardened concrete were tried and the outcomes were dissected. Over Burnt
bricks were casted and tested for compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and workability. The result shows that
the aggregate that concrete derived from Over Burnt bricks aggregate attained lower strength than the regular concrete. More
detailed and elaborated work is recommended with different mix ratio and a different proportion of Over Burnt aggregates for
a better conclusion.
DESIGN OF RIGID PAVEMENT AND ITS COST-BENEFIT ANALYSIS BY USAGE OF VITRIFIED ...IAEME Publication
A country can achieve sustainable and rapid growth in all fields by improving its connectivity and transit systems. Connectivity of people to resources by improved transit mechanism results in improved living standards. Apart from other means, the major part of connectivity of any country is through road systems. Well designed and maintained pavements provide better and long lasting service. In India, all the major road systems are designed as flexible pavements only, because of their ease of construction and less time it takes to be opened to traffic operations. The major problem with flexible pavements is their design life and high maintenance costs. Also, globally reducing petrol reserves, which are used for bitumen and asphalt production are also increasing the need for alternatives. To tackle these problems, rigid pavements can be constructed. Although the cost of construction of rigid pavements is high, its long life, high load carrying capabilities and low maintenance cost will balance the initial cost aspect. Recently, many studies are being conducted on different pozzolanic admixtures which can be used as partial replacement of cement in rigid pavements, thereby reducing its cost and enhancing properties of the mix. Here, an attempt is made to reduce the construction cost of rigid pavements by incorporating Vitrified Polish Waste (VPW) as partial cement replacement in proportions of 5% for M40 grade concrete. Further, to enhance flexural properties of pavement, Recron fibre is added to optimum VPW in increments of 0.1%, then after C.C pavement is designed for two lane two way national highway and cost benefit analysis is performed.
Effect of Acid and Sea Water Curing in Recycled Aggregate Concrete and Streng...paperpublications3
Abstract: Environmental issues such as climate change and associated global warming, depletion of natural resource and biodiversity, water and soil pollution, generation of huge amount of waste materials and their disposal are some of great challenges faced by present day civilization. Recycling of materials and reuse of the material is very important. Recycled concrete aggregates are used in concrete in replacement of nominal concrete aggregates 20mm and grit aggregates, replacement of 50%. Different various percentage of aggregate replacement gives optimum replacement content 50% in mix design of M20 without admixture using. Cubes are curing in sea water solution and H2SO4 + HCl acid solution. After duration of 28 day, 56 day and 90 day considering mass loss of 0.07633%, 0.157% and 8.4767% recycled aggregates to nominal cubes for acid curing, and strength will achieved at end of 28 days and 56 day, strength is decreased 4% and at the end of 90 days strength will decreased 4% and same as mass loss. The porosity and voids are generated due to curing of specific condition.
Natural resources are vanishing universal while at the similar time the generated wastes from the industry are
growing substantially. The sustainable development for construction requires the use of nonconventional and
innovative materials, and recycling of demolished and waste materials so to compensate the lack of natural
resources and to find alternative ways of conserving the environment. So, this paper presents the consequences
of an experimental study carried out to evaluate the power-driven properties of concrete mixtures in which fine
aggregate (sand) was swapped with Copper Slag (CS) while coarse aggregates were swapped by used and
recycled concrete coarse aggregate (RCA) from demolished structure or building. Both the coarse and fine
aggregate were replaced with percentages 0% (for the control mixture), 10%, 20%, 30%, of Copper Slag by
weight ratio. Tests were performed for properties of new concrete and toughened Concrete simultaneously.
Slump test was conducted to regulate the workability of the several design concrete mix. Compressive strength
and split tensile strength were determined at 7, 28 days of curing completely.
The results show that workability shrinkages slightly with rise in Copper Slag ratio, however workability for
the illustrations were within the prearranged boundary for M25 concrete. Test results shown substantial
enhancement in the strength assets of simple concrete by the insertion of CS alone whereas a reverse tendency
in observed for growing proportion of RCA in the illustration. The result of this study work displayed that
Copper slag in addition recycled concrete aggregate can be efficiently used in physical concrete as a standby of
coarse aggregate and fine aggregate (sand) respectively.

Abstract
The present work addresses the development of novel construction materials utilising commercial
grade nano-silica and recycled
aggregates retrieved from construction and demolition waste. For this, experimental work has been
carried out to examine the
influence of nano-silica and recycled aggregates on compressive strength, modulus of elasticity,
water absorption, density
and volume of voids of concrete. Fully natural and recycled aggregate concrete mixes are designed
by replacing cement with
three levels (0.75%, 1.5% and 3%) of nano-silica. The results of the present investigation depict that
improvement in early
days compressive strength is achieved with the incorporation of nano-silica in addition to the
restoration of reduction in
compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete mixes caused owing to the replacement of
natural aggregates by recycled
aggregates. Moreover, the increase in water absorption and volume of voids with a reduction of bulk
density was detected with
the incorporation of recycled aggregates in place of natural aggregates. However, enhancement in
density and reduction in
water absorption and volume of voids of recycled aggregate concrete resulted from the addition of
nano-silica. In addition,
the results of the study reveal that nano-silica has no significant effect on elastic modulus of
concrete.
