EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF COARSE AND FINE AGGREGATE WITH BROKEN TILES AND POND ASH

Abstract

The industrial or constructional waste containing many hazards, inorganic and toxic substances beyond the acceptable limit cause impact to living life. To overcome these issues the waste can be recycled and to reduce the burden on environment also use of alternative is required. This study presents the results of an experimental study on the partial replacement of the fine aggregate and coarse aggregate with pond ash and broken tiles with different combinations of both the materials 10% and 20% in the interval of 5% of fine aggregate and 10% of coarse aggregate in M25 grade of concrete. In this study broken tiles and pond ash are collected from various places for the partial replacement of coarse and fine aggregates. These replacements will reduce the cost of the structure at greater percentage because aggregates are more costly in cement for concrete production. Fine aggregate is the major component of concrete which is naturally available and hence limited in availability percentages of replacements towards compressive strengths, split tensile and flexural strength of concrete and cubes were cast and tested for 7 and 28 days and the test results are compared with the conventional concrete.
