Effect of Vitrified Polish Waste in Concrete as Partial Replacement to Cement

Structural components are considered to be superscript to other types of constructions because of their ability to resist against to the loads, stresses acting on to them, high flexural strength, durability, low maintenance cost when compared to normal constructions. But now a days due to scarcity of cementitious materials there was a great need of other alternate materials to adhere the situation and mostly in countries like India where construction is in great form. Being construction cost is high, as its primary ingredient is cement researchers are looking forward to replace cement by using various substantial materials. In this study, an attempt is made to replacement of cement with industrial produced materials like Vitrified polish waste (VPW), as optimum replacement for cement from past literature and making it as constant. Mix design is done for varying proportions of (5%,10%,15%, 20%) and specimens were casted and tested for mechanical properties. The maximum strength attained at the mix proportioning of 15%VPW when compared with control mix and design of cement concrete has done confining to IS codal provision.
