Abstract |
|
The Construction activities have increased enormously in recent decades. As a recent trend, there is a lot more focus to accomplish construction projects with an eco- friendly approach. Scarcity of natural resources, low bearing capacity of soils, economic design of structural elements, necessity of high rise buildings, disposal problem of industrial by-product etc. are the main crunches which the construction industry is encountering in the present scenario. One of the most important ingredients in concrete is Coarse aggregate, which is natural resources, depleting in recent days. As a result search for alternative means and ways for best usage of natural resources is of prior importance. To address this, the present work aims in investigating the feasibility using cinder as partial replacement for coarse aggregate in concrete preparation. |
