Abstract

Concrete is the mostly utilised material in the field of Civil Engineering. As its consumption is huge in amount and so the scarcity of the raw materials has become a major issue. The important components of concrete are binding material along with the aggregates. Alternative materials are chosen for the replacement of cement to achieve sustainable concrete. Along with cement replacing materials, reusable wastes are also adopted to utilise in concrete as a substitute of sand. The paper deals with the utilisation of waste products rice husk ash from agricultural industry and granite powder from granite industry respectively in concrete to develop a novel concrete with sustainable characteristics. Cement is replaced by rice husk ash at constant percentage of 20% and sand is replaced by granite powder at various percentages 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 % respectively. The hardened tests on concrete specimens are performed and strengths values are compared to conclude the optimum content of granite powder. Remarkable properties are attained by converting the natural agricultural wastes to reusable raw material for concrete.

Keywords: Rice husk ash, flexural strength, granite powder, split tensile strength, compressive strength.
