Abstract
These project works evaluate on the study of the workability and mechanical strength properties of the concrete reinforced with industrialized waste fibers or the recycled fibers. As the regular raise in the river sand is required more as compare to its availability, there is direct need for proper alternatives which can change sand partially or fully at a high proportion. Many studies investigate the effect of several waste products such as Glass sheet powder, Incinerated Sewage sludge, foundry bed waste, building demolition waste in the partial replacement of river sand. Utilization of Stone Dust and Steel Waste are one of the best research areas that encompass the effectiveness of replacement in all the aspects of construction materials. It is very essential to develop eco-friendly concrete from ceramic waste. This paper deals with the experimental study on the mechanical strength properties of M20 grade of concrete with the partial replacement of sand by using Stone Dust and Steel Scrap. In order to analyze the mechanical properties such as Compressive Strength, and Flexural Strength, the samples were casted with 10%, 20%, 30%, replacement of sand using stone dust and steel scrap and tested for different periods of curing like 7 days, 14 days and 28 days. The optimum of percentage addition of stone dust and steel scrap are analyzed considering the requirements of mechanical properties of concrete.
