Aim of the project is to examine the flexural properties of the modified M20 grade concrete by fully replacing the coarse aggregate by Silica fume aggregate, Sintered fly ash aggregate and LECA (Light expandable clay aggregate) in equal proportions. It is also proposed to replace 11% weight of cement with three numbers of pozzolanic materials like Silica Fume, Slag and Fly Ash along with varying percentages like 0, 0.5, 1 and 1.5% of nano materials on 11% of weight of cement. The Nano materials used are Nano Silicon oxide (SiO2), Nano Aluminum Oxide (Al2O3) and Nano Titanium oxide (TiO2) in equal proportions. With these variations the effect of replacements on cube strength and flexural strength on slab specimens is proposed to be studied
