- Abstract
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 get better human comforts but also harm the environment. Use of waste stone as an aggregate in construction industry has become popular and safe now. At present, construction industry is in need of finding cost-effective materials to enhance the strength of concrete. The effect of Shahabad stone (a variety of Cudappah) and the chemical admixture (superflo) on concrete was investigated. Natural aggregate had been replaced with the waste Shahabad stone in six different percentages, namely, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50%. A comparison was made between the specimens of partially replaced coarse and the same set of specimens admixed with superflo. The effect on compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexure was reported. The results indicate that the mechanical properties of concrete increase with 40% replacement of coarse aggregate with Shahabad stone.
