Variation of Compressive strength and water absorption of concrete made by Tw...ijsrd.com
Nowadays construction materials are increasingly evaluated by their ecological characteristics. Concrete recycling gains importance because it protects natural resources and eliminates the need for disposal by using the readily available concrete as an aggregate source for new concrete or other applications. The concrete in this paper is produced by utilizing alternative and recycled waste materials such as fly ash and recycled concrete aggregates to reduce energy consumption, environmental impact, and usage of natural resources. The inferior quality of recycled aggregate (RA) has restricted its use to low-grade applications such as roadwork sub-base and pavements, while its adoption for higher-grade concrete is rare because of the lower compressive strength and higher variability in mechanical performance of RA. A new concrete mixing method, two-stage mixing approach (TSMA), was advocated to improve the quality of RA concrete (RAC) by splitting the mixing process into two parts. In the current paper we will discuss two parameters on which the concrete made by TSMA has been tested for strength characteristics viz. compressive strength and flexural strength. These parametric properties are compared with the conventional concrete with the variation of percentage of recycled coarse aggregates(RCA) and fly ash.

The aim of this study was to determine the optimum replacement level of natural sand with M-sand that provides the highest strengths for a M40 grade high-strength concrete mix.
IRJET- High Strength Reduced Modulus of ConcreteIRJET Journal
This document discusses a study on reducing the modulus of elasticity (stiffness) of high-performance concrete (HPC) without compromising its strength. The study investigates replacing natural coarse aggregate with weathered aggregate in an M50 concrete mix. Tests show that the weathered aggregate concrete has lower modulus of elasticity values compared to traditional concrete mixes, while still maintaining adequate compressive strength. For example, at 28 days the weathered concrete has a 54.6 MPa strength versus 71.25 MPa for traditional concrete, but a lower modulus of elasticity of 2.0 GPa compared to 3.2 GPa. The results indicate that using weathered coarse aggregate is effective for reducing stresses in concrete structures without

3) Research has shown coconut shell concrete to have strengths marginally lower than normal concrete but sufficient for structural use at around 10% replacement. Higher replacements decrease strength due to less cement available for bonding. Coconut shell concrete provides benefits of reduced cost and weight.

strength, splitting tensile strength and abrasion resistance of the paving blocks as compared with the control
sample because of pozolanic nature of FG. The compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile strength
and abrasion resistance of the paving block samples in the FG replacement level of 20% are 69%, 90%, 47%

This document studies the strength properties of high performance concrete that uses ultra fine fly ash and nano silica.

Foam concrete has become most trending material in construction industry. People from construction field were come
out with the mix design of foam concrete to meet the specifications and the requirement needs. This is because foam concrete
has the possibility as alternative of lightweight concrete for producing intermediate strength capabilities with excellent thermal
insulation, freeze-thaw resistance, high impact resistance and good shock absorption. Fibres are generally used in concrete to
reduce the crackings due to plastic and drying shrinkages. They also reduce the permeability of concrete and thus reduce
bleeding of water. The inclusion of fibre reinforcement in concrete can enhance many more engineering properties of the basic
materials, Such as fracture toughness, flexural toughness, flexural strength and resistance to fatigue, impact, thermal shock and
spalling. From the practical observations on addition of 2% of fibre gives the effective distribution of fibre in the concrete. The
strain value of the concrete is decreases with increase in fibre content.

Foam concrete has become most trending material in construction industry. People from construction field were come
out with the mix design of foam concrete to meet the specifications and the requirement needs. This is because foam concrete
has the possibility as alternative of lightweight concrete for producing intermediate strength capabilities with excellent thermal
insulation, freeze-thaw resistance, high impact resistance and good shock absorption. Fibres are generally used in concrete to
reduce the crackings due to plastic and drying shrinkages. They also reduce the permeability of concrete and thus reduce
bleeding of water. The inclusion of fibre reinforcement in concrete can enhance many more engineering properties of the basic
materials, Such as fracture toughness, flexural toughness, flexural strength and resistance to fatigue, impact, thermal shock and
spalling. From the practical observations on addition of 2% of fibre gives the effective distribution of fibre in the concrete. The
strain value of the concrete is decreases with increase in fibre content.
