Abstract
PERFORMANCE OF CONCRETE BY PARTIAL REPLACEMENT WITH RECYCLED AGGREGATE
Dr. Syed Rehan Ali* and Haider khan
ABSTRACT
Since the construction and demolition activities are increasing day by day with an increase in industrialization and urbanization. With the increase of this pressure on the construction material is also increasing Hence it is the need of time to utilize the construction and demolition(C &D) wastes after its proper treatment. This will not only save the materials and energy but also save our environment from further pollution. Keeping in mind, this project work is carried out with the aim to test the strength and workability of concrete after replacing a part of it by demolition wastes. Here we replaced fresh aggregate by recycled aggregate in two proportions, i.e. 10% and 20% and find that the upto 10% addition of recycled aggregate the compressive strength is nearly same but by addition of 20% recycled aggregate in concrete, the compressive strength is reached to 90% .The use of this recycled waste will not only reduce the cost but also save energy and environment by reducing the mining of our non renewable resources.
