Impact of Waste Engine Oil and Fly Ash on Concrete Composition and Engineering Properties

Construction Industry is accelerating day by day, which results in increasing demand of basic civil engineering material i.e. cement. Engineers are looking for alternative of expensive construction since long. Cement, binder in concrete, is an expensive and exorbitant civil engineering material and it increases the Constructional budget. Not only this, but also cement marks the highest consumption throughout the world after water. The carbon credits to the environment during cement production, is an alarming issue. If it keeps following the exact pace as today, it is probable to reach annual cement production up to about 600 metric tones by 2025 in India alone and the globe will change into hot air balloon. Cement industry alone contribute to 2.4 to the total carbon emissions round the globe. Present research is an approach to relieve some burden of environment and construction industry as well. This research is aimed to achieve these objectives To understand the characteristic features of waste engine oil WEO and fly ash FA , to investigate impact of incorporation of WEO and FA on engineering properties of green and hardened concrete and to find the optimum content of FA and WEO to form the modified concrete mix with improved properties. Content of additives i.e Fly ash and WEO in present investigation as a substitute of cement is 30,40 and 50 and 0.5, 0.75 and 1 resp. The properties like workability, air content and porosity were improved by the addition of FA UEO, but compressive strength is adversely affected. So, for FA content of 40 and UEO content of 0.5 showed the optimum properties by least decline in compressive strength. Along with these quantitative results from experiments, other inferences are made qualitatively and it is forthcoming that segregation, bleeding and effect of freeze thaw cycles are extremely diminished with this proposed modification.
