Abstract

The construction industry has been responsible for degradation the environmental due to the ecological imbalance caused during the extraction and production of building materials. To make this production of construction materials cleaner, the dependency on conventional material has to be reduced. The production of 1 ton of cement leads to emission of 1.25 ton of CO₂ to the atmosphere which results in environmental pollution. Huge amount of construction materials accumulating day by day results with depletion of natural resources so, the recycling and reuse of material is important it was found that using partial replacement of cement, sand and aggregate by coal fly ash, coal bottom ash, GGBS, micro silica, FLDRCA (field produced RCA), LABRCA (lab produced RCA), can be used with different ratios to achieved the strength. For these 3 cubes of each mix proportions were prepared to evaluate the compressive strength and split tensile strength. The mixture were evaluated for their fresh, physical and the results were compared with the conventional mix. It was were proved in this study that it is light weight and perform better than conventional concrete.
