Abstract

AbstractIn the present scenario, there is a large production of agriculture wastes (AWs) and industrial waste (IW) have produced severe environmental problems related to their safe disposal. This review paper deals with the feasible usage of different types of debris like AW and IW in the production of mortar and concrete. These are used as supplementary cementitious material (SCM) to enhance the workability (WA), strength along with the durability properties of the concrete. It reviews on the evaluation of various physical properties of these wastes (AW and IW) includes fly ash (FA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS), and silica fume (SF) and usefulness in the concrete production. It is used as SCM and can be advantageous in the strength and durability properties of concrete. It describes the influence of the addition of SCMs on the fresh properties (FP) and hardened properties (HP) of a concrete mortar without affecting the quality of concrete. Due to the similar properties of cement, these wastes may be used as a cement substitute and cement additive in the concrete industry. It also describes the utilization of the new emerging wastes like ground waste expanded perlite (WEP), and it is used as pozzolanic material (PM) and valuable SCMs. Due to its substantial activity, WEP can be used as a cement additive as well as a cement substitute.KeywordWastesConcreteHigh-performance concretePozzolanic materialWaste expanded perlite
