Abstract

High demand of natural resources due to rapid urbanization and the disposal problem of agricultural wastes in developed countries have created opportunities for use of agro-waste in the construction industry. This paper reviews some of the agro-waste materials, which are used as a partial replacement of fine aggregate in concrete.it has been seen that the agro-waste concrete containing groundnut shell and rice husk showed better workability than their counterparts did. Agro-waste concrete containing achieved their required strength by 20% of replacement as fine aggregate, which were maximum among all agro-waste type concrete. Three various concrete mixes with the groundnut shell as has replacement of 10%, 15%, and 20% to the fine aggregate were prepared grade of concrete. The basic test namely compressive strength is carried out on the cube in order to find out the compressive strength of the cube and result were reported in a graphical manner. Additional of rice husk ash and groundnut shell as fine aggregate in mortar increased the resistance of chloride penetration whereas inclusion of cork in mortar showed better thermal resistance and improved cyclic performance.
