Analysis of Concrete for Optimum Use of Waste Material in Cement Concrete Precast Products: Investigating the Use of Waste Materials in Concrete Precast Products

Abstract

The rapid development in housing and infrastructure from last one decade continuously takesplace in India. Along with that naturally the product required to overcome this development produce inmass quantities like Pavement blocks, which are known as industrial products of precast made up byconcrete, having various shapes and sizes utilizes in huge quantity in housing and infrastructureconstruction. The conventional materials in manufacturing these blocks are utilized in large quantity,which may create impact on natural resources. To overcome these impact, we can use different materialssuch as, Sisal fiber, waste glass, fly ash etc, which helps to save natural resources and achieveeconomy so that buyers and sellers of these type of materials can also get benefited.The present experimental research investigation examines the effect of waste glass, fly ash and sisalfibers at partial replacement of fine aggregate and cement respectively, Experiment is done on M20 mix,with 15, 30 45 partial replacement of both sand and cement. Similarly, sisal fiber is also added inthe concrete paving block in 1, 1.5 and 2 of weight of cement, so as to provide compressivestrength to the same. After getting optimum percentage of all these, further experimental work isintended over the use of all these three in a single paving block. The replaced ingredients in thisresearch are artificial waste or partially natural waste. Experimentation is carried out to find thecompressive strength, abrasion resistance of the concrete paving blocks. Further these studies compareeconomical aspect of conventional product and new manufactured product.
