- Abstract
The utilization of industrial and agricultural waste produced by industrial process has been the focus of waste reduction research for economical, environmental and technical reasons. This is because over 300 million tons of industrial waste is being produced per annum by agricultural and industrial processes in India. The problem from continuous technological and industrial development is the disposal of waste material. With the increase in demand for construction materials, there is a strong need to utilize alternative materials for sustainable development. Advancements in technology not only help in improving human comforts but also harm the environment. The use of china clay industrial waste aggregate in construction industry has become popular and safe now. At present, construction industry is in need of finding a cost-effective material to enhance the strength of concrete. In this paper, the effect of china clay waste and the chemical admixture (superflo) on concrete has been investigated. Natural aggregate was replaced with china clay industrial waste in different percentages, namely, 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50. A comparison was made between the specimens of partially replaced fine aggregate and the same set of specimens admixed with superflo. The effect on mechanical properties and durability properties was reported.
