An experimental study on strength characteristics of replacement of fine aggregate with stone dust and coarse aggregate with demolished concrete waste

Abstract

The report presents a comparative examination of the experimental results of the characteristics of fresh and cured concrete with various natural with recycled coarse and fine aggregate replacement ratios. Crushing leftover concrete from laboratory test cubes and precast concrete columns yielded recycled coarse aggregate. Stone dust was used in place of recycled fine aggregate. One of the most significant components of a reinforced structural part is concrete. Concrete has an inextricable influence on reinforced concrete constructions. Concrete that isn't strong enough puts the entire structure in harm. Many structures nowadays fail as a result of a lack of strength. The mechanical properties of concrete changed by stone dust as a fine aggregate replacement material are investigated in this work. A comparative analysis of the experimental results of the properties of fresh and hardened concrete with different replacement ratios of natural with recycled coarse and fine aggregate are presented in the paper. Recycled coarse aggregate was made by crushing the waste concrete of laboratory test cubes and precast concrete columns. Recycled fine aggregate was replaced by stone dust. Concrete is one of the most important components in reinforced structural member. In reinforced concrete structures concrete have some inseparable influence. Lacking in concrete strength endanger the whole structure. Now a day it is seen that many structures fails due to lack of strength. In this paper investigate experiment is reported on the mechanical properties of concrete modified by stone dust as replacing material of fine aggregate and demolished concrete waste as replacing material of coarse aggregate and a study is conductto determine the engineering properties of compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and water absorption capacity of partially replacement of natural sand and natural aggregate. In recent days the demand of river sand is increasing due to its lesser availability. Hence the practice of partially replacing river sand with stone dust is taking a tremendous growth. Due to critical stage of natural aggregate the availability of demolished concrete as recycled aggregate. Using discarded concrete as recycled aggregate conserves natural aggregate, lowers landfill impact, reduces energy use, and potentially saves money. The materials of the future are recycled aggregate. Stone dust and destroyed concrete waste were used to replace 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 percent, and 100 percent of fine and coarse aggregate, respectively. After a 28-day curing period, concrete samples (cubes, cylinders, and beams) are cast and evaluated. To produce the effect on mortar, several members were built utilising the above percentage. Modified concrete is compared to regular concrete in terms of strength. The strength parameters of concrete employing stone dust as fine aggregate and demolished concrete debris as coarse aggregate are observed to increase in compressive strength, flexural strength, and tensile strength. It was discovered that the concrete may be used as structural members in buildings and other structures.
