STUDIES ON SPLIT TENSILE STRENGTH CHARACTERISTICS OF UTILIZING NAGALOOTI WASTE STONE AGGREGATE IN CONCRETE
Keywords:
Nagalooti Waste stone aggregates, Natural aggregate, concrete and flyashAbstract
The main aim behind the research is to reduce the production cost of cement concrete and also to clear land fills by utilizing available waste stones in Nagalooti, kurnool district. The objective behind the research is also to reduce river sand usage in concrete keeping in view the level of ground water table and environmental conditions. Concrete cylinder specimens were cast by replacing conventional aggregate with crushed Nagalooti waste stone, also replacing cement with flyash up to 30% in conventional cement concrete of M25 grade in 20 different mix proportions and different percentages. In this experiment natural aggregates are replaced by Nagalooti waste stone aggregates in proportions of 0,25,50,75,100% and also cement is replaced with fly ash by 0,10,20,30%
