Abstract

Rapid increase in construction activities leads to active shortage of conventional construction materials due to various reasons. Concrete is most widely used construction material. Cement, sand and granite stone are the constituents of the concrete. Researches were searching for cheaper & eco-friendly materials as a cement replacement. Because the manufacture of cement is leading to the pollution in large amounts (CO2 emissions are 0.8-1.3 ton & SO2 emission is also very high). It was found that fly ash, industrial waste & silica fume (SF) can be used as partial substitute for cement and also these materials are produced in large extent as waste materials.
