Abstract

China's industries are rapidly growing, and with that generation of waste is also increasing. Associated environmental concerns over construction and demolition waste, industrial waste such as fly ash generated by thermal power plants need to be utilized in some form. Autoclave aerated concrete is a lightweight material that can be used as an alternative building material; it is widely composed of raw materials such as cement, quicklime, sand, gypsum, and an aerating agent like aluminum powder. In this study, 40% waste will be utilized, Construction waste (5%,10%,15%....40%) and Fly ash (35%,30%,25….0%)respectively, keeping the aerating agent constant at 0.06% that is aluminum powder. The compressive strength of the material will be checked after autoclaving at 2000 temperature and 1Mpa Pressure for 6 hours. The study aims to design an autoclave aerated concrete material and to recycle the waste generated by various industries mainly from the construction sector.
