Feasibility of incorporating coal mine overburden material as construction-grade fine aggregate

This study addresses the environmental challenge posed by coal mine overburden (CMOB) disposal by exploring its viability as a fine aggregate substitute for concrete production, particularly in response to the escalating demand for natural river sand (NS). Physical properties of CMOB, including particle size, specific gravity, density, water absorption, and the presence of deleterious materials, were rigorously evaluated. The results show that while some physical properties differ from NS, crucial parameters such as specific gravity, density, and soundness closely align with NS, all within specified code limits. Chemical-mineralogical analyses reveal the absence of sulfur and chloride in CMOB, mitigating the risk of sulfate and chloride attack on cement mortar/concrete. The study also highlights that CMOB-incorporated mortar exhibits enhanced compressive strength, with an optimum replacement level of 60%. Exceeding this level may elevate water demand in mortar, diminishing strength. This research not only establishes CMOB as a construction-grade fine aggregate but also presents it as a sustainable solution, conserving natural river sand and addressing environmental concerns associated with overburden disposal.

Effect of expanded perlite aggregates and temperature on the strength and dynamic elastic properties of cement mortar

The residential market consumes nearly half of the world’s concrete production, and it is anticipated that 68 % of the global population will reside in urban areas by 2050. Researchers have focused their efforts on exploring alternative options to natural aggregates in concrete and mortar. In line with the principles of circular economy, construction and demolition waste has been repurposed for the manufacture of cement-based materials. Volcanic products, which are abundant but underutilized, have been identified as an alternative to recycled aggregates. They offer several advantages over natural river aggregates, including reduced weight, enhanced thermal and acoustic insulation, improved fire resistance and pozzolanic characteristics. While there has been a significant amount of research on the use of expanded perlite as a supplementary cementitious material, studies involving the use of expanded perlite aggregates (EPA) in cement-based construction materials are relatively limited. This paper seeks to address this knowledge gap by investigating the use of EPA in cement-based mortar at both room and elevated temperatures. The study examines the impact of varying replacement percentages (10 %, 20 % and 30 % - by volume) of natural sand with EPA having a maximum grain size of 4 mm, and the exposure temperature of mortar prisms at the age of 28 days. Specifically, temperatures of 100ºC, 150ºC and 200ºC were selected for analysis. The impact of these parameters on the flexural and compressive strength of mortar, as well as its dynamic elastic properties, was experimentally determined. The findings indicate that, at room temperature, higher replacement percentages of natural sand by EPA result in decreased flexural and compressive strengths, by as much as 50 % and 30.71 %, respectively. However, the dynamic moduli values for replacement percentages up to 20 % are similar to those of the reference mix. Conversely, when subjected to temperatures up to 200ºC, significant improvements were observed in the flexural strength values, e.g. over 20 % for temperatures of 150°C and 200°C, with only marginal improvements in compressive strength, 3 % ÷ 20 % for temperatures of 150°C and 200°C, compared to values obtained at room temperature.

Durability and microstructural characteristics of self-compacting concrete incorporating M-sand

ABSTRACT Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is characterized by increased fluidity and enhanced cohesion, leading to its growing prominence within the construction sector. Additive materials such as alccofine and silica fume can enhance the properties of SCC while concurrently mitigating the ecological footprint linked to cement manufacturing. Manufactured sand, also known as M-sand, is finely crushed aggregate sourced from rocks or quarry stones, providing a sustainable substitute for natural river sand in construction. The primary emphasis of this study revolves around evaluating the enduring compressive strength and durability attributes of SCC, wherein M-sand is employed to replace river sand to varying percentages of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. Durability assessments encompass evaluations at 28, 56, 90, 180, and 365 days for water absorption, Rapid Chloride Penetration Test (RCPT), sorptivity, and Volume of Permeable Voids (VPV), all compared against the benchmarks of control concrete. Microstructural characterization studies entail the utilization of techniques such as Scanning Electron Microscope imagery (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). From the results it is observed that M-sand replacement in SCC enhanced durability of the concrete.

Mechanical properties and environmental implications of excess-sulfate cement concrete with phosphogypsum-based cold-bonded fine aggregates

Recycling waste phosphogypsum (PG) into phosphogypsum-based cold-bonded aggregates (PCBAs) for eco-concrete production has received extensive attention due to its sustainability for construction industry development. Currently, PCBAs mainly replace the coarse aggregates in concrete while the fine aggregates remain natural sand (NS). This study substitutes NS with phosphogypsum-based cold-bonded fine aggregates (PCBFAs) for the preparation of excess-sulfate cement concrete (ESCC), and the compressive strength, tensile splitting strength, flexural strength, and stress-strain curve were studied by considering replacement rations (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%). The results indicate that when the replacement ratio is 100%, the compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and flexural strength of ESCC were reduced by 17.2%, 26.9%, and 29.2% respectively. The addition of PCBFAs will make the ascending segment of the stress-strain curve flatter and make the descending segment steeper. Based on the tested results, the prediction formulas of the mechanical properties and the uniaxial compressive stress-strain model of the concrete under different replacement ratios are proposed. Microstructure analysis indicates that the PCBFAs gradually integrate with the cement matrix, reducing the defects in the interface transition zone. Furthermore, ESCC effectively immobilizes impurities contained in PG. The research findings demonstrate the feasibility of using PCBFAs as a substitute for NS.

Porosity and hydraulic conductivity of gap graded natural sand considering shape parameters

Gap graded natural sand is widely used in hydraulic structures, foundation treatment and recharge well fillers, and it’s also common in geological structures such as landslide deposits. In order to study the influence of grain shape on its pore and permeability characteristics, river sand in Yichang (YS), standard sand in Henan (HS) and standard smooth glass beads (BZ) are selected as test materials, and the grain shape parameters of three materials are analyzed on multiple scales. Then tests on porosity and hydraulic conductivity of gap graded natural sand were conducted. On this basis, a numerical model considering grain size distribution, coarse grain content and grain shape was established. The results showed that the average values of the shape parameters increased or decreased with the increase of grain size, and the coefficients of variation for the parameters were between 0.026 and 0.208. The shape parameters showed a negative skewness distribution, but the absolute value of the skewness coefficient was small (0.254–0.616). Grain size distribution and grain shape are the main factors controlling the porosity and hydraulic conductivity of gap graded natural sand. The minimum values of porosity and hydraulic conductivity appear at about 70 % and 30 % of large grains, respectively. The closer the grains are to the sphere, the closer the material is stacked, and the smaller the porosity value is. The grain size ratio has a significant effect on the minimum porosity of the mixture and the minimum porosity increases with the increase of the grain size ratio. The porosity of gap graded natural sand obtained by numerical method is accurate, and the error is within 10 %. The hydraulic conductivity is obtained by deriving fluid grid information and the results show that the simulated value of hydraulic conductivity is highly matched with the experimental value, and the error range is roughly between 10 % and 30 %.

Unveiling the temperature-dependent mechanisms of viscoelasticity of sand-enhanced epoxy

The viscoelastic behavior of epoxy is critical for its engineering performance and applications. This work focused on the improvement of its viscoelastic performance by using natural sand particles as fillers. Experiments were carried out to investigate the static and dynamic viscoelastic properties of epoxy with various sand particle contents. Static mechanical tests demonstrated an increase in the elastic modulus, albeit at the cost of reduced strength at a higher sand content due to stress concentrations. Dynamic tests indicated substantially improved storage modulus and damping of epoxy after being filled with sand particles. Moreover, the glass transition temperature of epoxy showed a substantial rise upon the addition of sand particles, signifying an augmentation in its heat resistance. Static viscoelastic characterization revealed an elevation in both room- and high-temperature relaxation moduli upon incorporating sand. By applying time–temperature superposition principles, long-term relaxation curves were obtained, which could provide a reference for engineering design. These viscoelastic investigations offer insights into the underpinning mechanisms governing the performance of sand-reinforced epoxy. This enables the rational design of sand-particle-reinforced epoxy for customized durability, heat resistance and vibration damping.

Fizyczne i mechaniczne zachowanie betonu z recyklingu poddanego testom niszczącym i nieniszczącym

Aggregates recycled from construction sites may exhibit slightly inferior characteristics compared to natural aggregates in terms of porosity, friability, and variability. However, it must be acknowledged that although recycled aggregates are currently used only in small proportions for manufacturing concrete, their usage is steadily increasing. It is now widely recognised that the reuse of recycled aggregates in mortar and concrete significantly contributes to the preservation of alluvial aggregates. The valorisation of recycled aggregates in concrete and mortar offers a clear economic advantage in the construction sector. Indeed, the reuse of materials from demolition could be envisaged directly on site or at construction waste recycling and treatment platforms. Additionally, it should be noted that to date, there is no specific standard for measuring the water absorption of recycled aggregates. Regarding the physical properties, the estimation of the absorption kinetics of the recycled aggregates has proved necessary. Moreover, other equally important measurements must be undertaken to determine all the other properties. The results obtained demonstrated that a good correlation exists between the substitution rate and the physical and mechanical properties of the prepared concrete. Furthermore, it was decided to vary the substitution rate of natural sand with recycled sand during the manufacture of concrete according to the following percentages: 25% recycled sand with 75% natural sand, and 50% recycled sand with 50% natural sand.

ТЕХНОЛОГИЧЕСКИЕ ПОДХОДЫ ПОВЫШЕНИЯ КАЧЕСТВА МЕЛКОЗЕРНИСТОГО БЕТОНА

The production of high quality and reliable fine-grained concrete using resource-saving technologies is a current and important task. The popularity of fine-grained concrete is determined by the possibility of eliminating coarse aggregate. It is expensive and in short supply in many regions of the country, and the ability to regulate within a wide range the structure and technical properties of the concrete mixture and concrete, by the quality of concreting of densely reinforced structures of complex configuration, increasing the impact strength of reinforced concrete elements. In this regard, to increase the demand for this product, research is carried out on the production of fine-grained concrete using locally available technogenic materials and technical methods based on established patterns of influence of recipe and technological parameters on physical, mechanical and operational characteristics. The lack of high-quality coarse sands in the region was a prerequisite for the search for new solutions to control the processes of contact formation between cement particles and fine aggregate. The recipe-technological method proposed in the work, which consists in the complex use of fractionated filler surface activated by the cationic additive of alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, modified with microsilica binder, contributed to the enhancement of adhesive strength in the contact zone “cement stone-aggregate” and the formation of a dense structure composed of high-strength and poorly soluble formations. The proposed technology for producing fine-grained concrete will make it possible to create high-quality composites using technogenic raw materials, thereby solving the problem of the shortage of coarse natural sands suitable for construction.

Pore structure characteristics of artificial sand aggregate mortar

With the progressive depletion of natural sand, the substitution of natural sand with artificial sand as a construction aggregate has received significant attention. To analyzed the pore structure characteristics of artificial sand aggregate mortars, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology was utilized to analyze the distribution characteristics and dynamic changes of five types of aggregate gradation mortars, and fractal theory was employed for characterization. The study examined on the correlation between aggregate gradation and pore structure, fractal dimension, and assessed the connectivity of the pore structure. The results showed that: water-saturated samples were mainly composed of micropores and movable fluid pores after 28 days of hydration, while the micropores and clay-bound fluid pores dominated after 365 days of hydration. The formation of the pore structure in multi-aggregate-graded mortar is influenced by both the surface-to-volume ratio and aggregate packing density. At the same hydration time, lower porosity in water-saturated mortar results in increased non-homogeneity of the pore structure and a reduced permeability coefficient. Well-graded aggregate mortar has stronger resistance to hydraulic erosion, and the stronger the erosion effect of water will be with more developed pore structure.

Studying the usability of recycled aggregate to produce new concrete

One of the most significant environmental issues worldwide is garbage, particularly waste from construction materials, which is generated in substantial numbers. However, in the building industry, the significant extraction of natural resources such as cement, natural sand, and natural gravel poses a critical environmental challenge, depleting these resources at an alarming rate. There are some solutions that developed countries are resorting to, namely the division of construction waste into groups, where it is reused under the name of recycling construction waste to produce new, environmentally friendly building materials. The aim of this research includes a laboratory process study as it includes the use of the following ratios: 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, and 100%, under the process of replacing coarse plain aggregates including coarse recycled aggregates and studying the most important mechanical properties of concrete. This research was carried out using fresh concrete properties such as workability tests and hardened concrete properties such as compressive strength, splitting, and flexural tensile strength examined at the durations of 7, 14, and 28 days. The research includes the investigation of the three main properties of concrete. After conducting the tests, the results have shown that the main property of recycled concrete is lower strength than that of conventional concrete, but it can be said that it is within the limits that can be used for construction. The results also showed that compared to normal aggregates, development in the recycled aggregate percentage rates reduces the operational workability of concrete. The research proved that the maximum decrease in compressive, flexural, and tensile strength, density and the slump were 19.4, 18.3, 19.6, 19.5, and 25.0% respectively compared to the control concrete samples.

Research Status and Development Trend of Mechanized Sand Production Process and Equipment Optimization

With the continuous development of engineering construction industry, the demand for sand used in construction is increasing, the traditional natural sand is increasingly in short supply, and the demand for mechanical sand is increasing. The vertical shaft impact sand machine is an important equipment machine in the production process of mechanical sand. The rotor in the vertical shaft impact sand machine is the core part of the normal work of the sand machine. Studying the rotor in the vertical shaft impact sand machine can improve the efficiency and stability of the sand machine in the sand making process. Compared with the research results at home and abroad, the type and research direction of rotor structure are summarized, and the development trend of vertical shaft impact sand making machine is proposed.

Influence of Elevated Temperatures on the Compressive Strength of Concrete Made with Different Types of Aggregate

Concrete, the backbone of modern infrastructure, exhibits varying mechanical behaviour that depends on its components, with aggregates playing a crucial role in its strength and durability. This study aimed to investigate the influence of elevated temperatures on the compressive strength of concrete made with different types of aggregate. A comprehensive evaluation of concrete mixes was conducted using quartz, crushed clay bricks, crushed andesite, expanded clay and expanded glass coarse aggregates. For each coarse aggregate type, concrete mixtures were made with the same amount of Portland cement, water-cement ratio, natural sand, and superplasticizer. The effective water-cement ratio and cement content were kept constant in each concrete mixture. The grading and maximum particle size were the same in all concrete mixtures. The results revealed that the type of aggregate has a significant impact on the compressive strength and thermal resistance of concrete, with andesite-containing concrete exhibiting the highest residual strength after heating up to 800 °C and clay brick-concrete displaying the highest strength under elevated temperatures up to 1000 °C. The study also found that the age of concrete affects its strength at elevated temperatures, as concrete in the early stages of hydration is more susceptible to thermal cracking than concrete that has had more time to cure. Generally, the compressive strength of normal-weight aggregates depends on the strength of the parent rock. But in the case of fire (elevated temperature), the cement paste matrix loses its strength, and the aggregates effects become more significant.

Reuse of waste rockwool for improving the performance of LC3-based mortars made with natural and recycled aggregates for sustainable building solutions

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of waste rockwool (RW) addition on the thermo-physical, mechanical, and fire resistance properties of limestone calcined clay cement (LC3)-based mortars. LC3 binder has been produced by replacing 60 wt% of OPC with limestone (LS) powder and metakaolin (MK) at a percentage of LS to MK of 1:2 (wt%). Waste RW was added at various ratios of 1, 3 and 5 % (by weight of binder) into two types of LC3-based mortars made with natural sand (NS) and ferrochrome waste slag (FCS) aggregates with a binder-to-aggregate vol% of 1:3. Upon the addition of 5 wt% of waste RW, significant enhancements of about 19 % and 21 % were obtained for the compressive strength of NS and FCS mortars, respectively, and attributed to the improved physical packing. After exposure to standard fire for 1 h with a maximum applied temperature of 945 °C, residual strengths of about 57.5 % and 63.8 % have been maintained by the sand and FCS-blended LC3 mortars, respectively. Generally, the incorporation of RW led to a slight increase in the thermal conductivity of both types of mortars; however, the FCS-blended LC3 mortar possessed relatively higher increment rates as compared with the sand mortar, which is helpful in improving the thermal performance in hot climate regions. Remarkable improvements in the microstructure characteristics in terms of compactness, uniformity, and interfacial transition zone (ITZ) tightness were attained by RW addition. Lifecycle assessment (LCA) results demonstrated that about 38–45 % lower carbon emission is associated with the designed LC3-based mortars than the conventional OPC mortar.

Evaluation of geotechnical characterization of recycled sand as a sustainable replacement for natural sand

Evaluation of geotechnical characterization of recycled sand as a sustainable replacement for natural sand

Quality assessment standards and production technology of artificial sand based on hydraulic concrete construction specifications

Natural sand and gravel resources are a local resource. Natural sand and gravel are non-renewable in a short time and are not suitable for long-distance transportation. After decades of mining, sand and gravel resources in some areas have been exhausted. The transportation distance of natural sand and gravel is getting farther and farther, and accordingly, the price of natural sand and gravel continues to rise. At the same time, continuous and disorderly mining has caused serious damage to the environment and resources. During the construction of large and medium-sized water conservancy and hydropower projects in China, due to the lack of surrounding natural aggregates, most projects use artificial aggregates. In the current national standards for water conservancy projects, the content of artificial sand and gravel powder is clearly defined. Based on the “Hydraulic Concrete Construction Specifications” (SL677-2014), this article summarizes the particle shape, gradation and surface structure of artificial sand, and also calculates the theoretical gradation of artificial sand. To find out the impact of stone powder content on the performance of artificial sand, different levels of stone powder content need to be selected for research and analysis to clarify the impact of artificial sand powder content on concrete properties. Research shows that for concrete made from artificial sand, increasing the aggregate content with a particle size less than 0.075 mm can significantly increase the compressive strength of the concrete. In artificial sand, the content of stone powder will affect the workability, polishability, durability, permeability and water release of concrete. In the artificial sand and gravel production process system, crushing and sand making equipment are the most important sand and gravel production equipment. The research results provide theoretical reference for the application of artificial sand in concrete and the update of artificial sand production technology and equipment.

Experimental Study on Surface Segregation Law of Three-Dimensional Accumulation Body of Sand and Stone Particles by Binary Mechanism

Sand and stone materials are one of the important raw materials for infrastructure construction. In recent years, natural sand resources have decreased rapidly. In order to protect rivers and DAMS and ecological balance, local governments have increased the control power of natural sand mining, and replacing natural sand with mechanically broken parent rock formation mechanism sand has become an inevitable trend of the industry development. During the crushing process of parent rock, sand particles of different particle size range are produced, and particle segregation occurs in the process of stacking in the yard, which brings great trouble to the calculation of particle grading and material sample detection, and hinders the large-scale application of machine-made sand. In this paper, three-dimensional stacking tests of irregular particles were carried out to identify the particle distribution on the surface of the stack by digital image technology, analyze the relationship between particle size composition of particle mixture and the particle distribution of the accumulation body, and study the distribution law and segregation characteristics of the accumulation body. The experimental results show that the mixture with different coarse particle content will produce the corresponding distribution on the surface of the accumulation body after the accumulation. On the surface of the accretion body, the content of coarse particles is vertically distributed along the height of the accretion body. The content of coarse particles in the lower part of the accretion body is greater than that in the upper part of the accretion body. The overall segregation coefficient on the surface of the pile decreases with the increase of coarse particle content, and the variation is the largest in the lower part of the pile surface with the initial coarse particle content. Based on the test results in this paper, it provides a basis for formulating the sampling and inspection method of machine-made sand, ensuring the quality of machine-made sand and improving the utilization rate of machine-made sand.

Керамика древнеберингоморской культуры со стоянки возле утеса Кожевникова (мыс Шмидта): особенности технологии

During the excavations of a dugout at the Kozhevnikov Cliff site (Cape Schmidt), N.N. Dikov obtained a collection of pottery vessels of the Old Bering Sea culture (fourteen specimens). The technology of ceramic production was analyzed using the methodology developed by A.A. Bobrinsky. It was determined that potters selected iron-rich clays of two subtypes, differing in the amount of natural sand content, for pottery production. Five recipes for the molding clay were identified, including three unmixed: 1) clay + sand (7 specimens); 2) clay + wool (3 specimens); 3) clay + organic solution (2 specimens); and two mixed – 4) clay + sand + organic solution (1 specimen); and 5) clay + sand + wool (1 specimen). The vessels were made in a base form, and the shape was additionally formed by paddling. On the outer surface of one artifact, a strap handle with an ear for threading a cord was made, and the remaining hole on the inside was patched with a cloth scrap. The surfaces of the vessels were treated by mechanical smoothing with a hard-smooth tool and/or fingers. Firing took place at temperatures above clay calcination and could be done in bonfires or hearths. The heterogeneity of pottery traditions was found among the population living in the dugout. The two identified two-component recipes for molding clay were formed as a result of mixing the adaptive pottery skills of bearers of different traditions of making unmixed recipes for molding clay. This indicates the beginning of cultural integration processes among bearers of different pottery skills that began to occur under the dominance of the tradition of using low-sanded clay of the first subtype and artificial sand addition in a 1 : 1 concentration.

A contribution to the study of mortars prepared with recycled sand

No one denies that today concrete is the most used material in the field of civil engineering. It is widely admitted that the production of concrete necessitates large quantities of fine aggregates, specifically river sand and crushed sand. Moreover, the excessive exploitation of river sand, which generally causes a multitude of environmental problems, has pushed the majority of governments around the world to issue rules for the purpose of limiting or preventing the illegal extraction of river sand. The present article aims primarily to make a contribution to studying the possibility of replacing natural sand (NS) and crushed sand (CS) with recycled sand (RS) in ternary mortars, at proportions ranging from 20% to 100%. The consistency of the mixtures, the densities in the fresh and hardened state, the compressive strength after 3, 14 and 28 days of hardening, as well as the absorption of water by immersion and by capillarity at 28 days, were determined and discussed. It should be noted that the (W/C) ratio was set at 0.7 for all mixtures. The experimental results showed that recycled sand could be successfully used as an alternative to natural sand, up to a rate of 40%, for the manufacture of ternary mortars without significantly affecting their properties.

The effect of slag and natural pozzolan on the rheological and compressive strength properties of recycled self-compacting mortar

Cement replacement materials are used in self-compacting concrete mixes to reduce the cement content and hence its environmental effect. This article examined the effects of ground granulated blast-furnace slag (S) and natural pozzolan (NP) powder on the rheological and mechanical properties of recycled self-compacting mortar (RSCM). Natural sand was replaced by 100% of recycled sand (RS) by volume; while cement was replaced by slag and NP up to 40% by weight of cement. The slump flow, V-funnel time, yield stress and plastic viscosity and compressive strength of RSCM are investigated and compared with natural self-compacting mortar. The results showed that fresh properties of RSCM meet the requirements of self-compacting mortar if slag and NP contents are limited to 35%. The increase in slag content increases the yield stress and the plastic viscosity of fresh mortars whereas a decrease in the rheological properties is noticed when NP content is increased. Increasing slag and NP content leads to a reduction in compressive strength of RSCM at early ages, but enhances compressive strength at later age. The cement substitution levels by 25% of slag and 15% of NP are the optimum for attaining the desired strength that compensate for strength loss due to the use of RS.

Influence on impact strength and chloride permeability of concrete made with cementitious material and artificial sand

The over usage of natural sand and cement has negative social and ecological effects. To address this, by-products of industrial wastes known as pozzolanic materials, including as fly ash, GGBFS, silica fume, and metakaolin, can be utilised with the manufactured sand in place of the natural fine aggregate and cement. As a result, the current research project discussed in this article examines the viability of replacing cement in concrete with pozzolana and crushed sand. Thus, this will address two issues at once: the large-scale use of pozzolanic materials and the preservation of natural sand quarries. The main objective of this experimental investigation is to find out the impact and durability properties of concrete produced by replacing natural sand by manufactured sand in varying percentages like 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 70, 80, 90, 100, and 20% cement replacing with pozzolanic materials. Cylindrical disc 150 mm diameter and 65 mm thick was tested for impact strength and chloride permeability 50 mm thick and 100 mm diameter samples were cast. The 28-day impact strength and chloride permeability of concrete mixed by partially substituting cement with pozzolan and partially substituting natural fine aggregate with artificial sand were tested. For the various concrete mix proportions, the findings for impact strength and chloride permeability were examined and contrasted with standard concrete. The results of this study show that substituting 20% of the cement with silica fume and 60% of the natural fine aggregate with M-sand results in concrete that has a maximum impact strength and a minimum chloride permeability. An ANN Model was developed using the experimental values. For design of model 400 result values where used, 20% results used for testing purpose and 80% results used for ANN model training. Calculated using the product of 25 input data. The ANN model’s results offer a precise elastic prediction of the impact strength and chloride iron pass ability of concrete mixed with substituting industrial cementitious waste for cement and artificial sand with naturally occurring fine aggregate. The findings of this study help to reduce the extraction of non-renewable natural recourses and the environmental impact of industrial waste by preparing more sustainable concrete.
