Experimental Investigations on Green Concrete

Concrete is out and away the foremost wide used construction material these days. Now we are living in the age which related to concrete. But now-a-days due to rapid growth in construction cement is very costly. Also due to large growth in industrialization there is a large amount of wastes generated, which is hazardous to environment and living beings. To overcome above problems, wastes generated can be used as alternative materials in conventional concrete to produce eco-friendly concrete named as Green Concrete. By using this type concrete requires minimum amount of energy and causes least harm to the environment. This project analyses the Comparison of marble dust, crushed coconut shell, broken ceramics waste and rice husk ash in concrete by partial replacement of cement, coarse aggregate and fine aggregate respectively at the ratio of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% & 20% concrete specimens were casted and subsequently all test specimens were cured in water at 7 and 28 Days with the specified combinations The experimental study examines the mechanical properties of flexural strength compressive strength. In this project M20 Concrete is designed for various combinations. Nowadays, all over the world aimed at increasing the reuse and recycling products, where it is technically, economically or environmentally acceptable.
