Experimentation on strength of concrete with different coarse aggregates

  Hasan Mohamed Aadhil N,  Dr. D Shoba Rajkumar

The concrete being the most widely used construction material, the utilisation of concrete results in the depletion of natural resources that are to be used directly or indirectly as the ingredients of concrete. Such large scale depletion of natural resources create a negative impact on the environment. In order to reduce the use of natural resources as the ingredients of concrete, alternate materials like expanded clay and recycled concrete were used as coarse aggregates in concrete. The variation in the properties of the concrete containing different coarse aggregates were studied by performing the tests as per Indian Standard codes. It was found that the recycled concrete can be used as replacement for conventional coarse aggregates without much change in the properties of conventional concrete.
