Compressive strength of concrete with partial replacement of aggregates with granite powder and cockle shell
Ponnada, Markandeya Raju1, Siva Prasad, S2, Dharmala, Harish3.
Construction materials are being exploited by mankind posing a risk of their
sustainability. On the other hand, many industries are producing waste by-products and their safe
disposal is a major challenge to engineers and environmentalists. Identifying waste materials that
resemble in properties with some ingredient of concrete can solve this problem to some extent.
The aim of this study is to determine the feasibility of utilising two industrial by-products as a
replacement of both fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. Granite powder and cockle shell are
adopted as partial replacements to fine and coarse aggregate respectively. It is concluded from
the study that maximum strength is attained with a combination of granite powder and cockle
shell at 20% and 15% partial replacements of fine and coarse aggregate respectively for M30
grade Concrete. The compressive strength for 28 days at these combinations is 43.7 MPa which
is 43.75% higher than that of conventional concrete.
