An Analysis on Strength Properties of Concrete Utilizing Natural Waste

Over recent years a rapid development in the field of concrete technology has taken place. Concrete has become the most popular construction material. Even common people have started using concrete in a big way. Thus, based on natural minerals aggregate it is now possible to produce concrete with compressive strengths of up to 230 MPa. If natural mineral aggregate is replaced by high quality ceramic aggregate, compressive strengths up to 500 MPa can be achieved. Also, over recent years however many relatively new concrete structures and industrial products have shown a poor performance. It is great challenge, therefore both to utilize and apply and also further develop existing technology on high performance concrete to the benefit of both the concrete industry and the society. In recent study many new materials are used as a partial replacement material in concrete which can increase its properties of the concrete such material as limestone, marble dust, wooden husk, rice husk etc.
