REINSTATEMENT OF MATERIALS IN CONCRETE WITH DIFFERENT SURROGATES

Abstract

Materials in concrete such as cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate are the basic needs for construction. Due to the rapid growth of construction industry the requirement of these materials will be more. A good quality of sand is available near the river only. A good quality and quantity of sand is not available everywhere. If the sand is available in huge quantity, government made restrictions on excavation of sand. If the sand is excavated from a single place it posse’s environmental problems. In the place of fine
aggregate a naturally available quarry dust is partially replaced. Now a days the cost of the binding material in concrete i.e cement cost is very high. So an attempt has been made to discuss the properties such as workability and compressive strength of concrete prepared by replacing cement and fine aggregate with lime stone and with quarry dust at different levels of percentages.
