Abstract

These days the pollution caused by the construction industry is so high that it will be a great relief for the construction workers as well as peoples to get rid of this environmental pollution caused due to the concrete industry with heavy usage of Portland cement. so in order to tackle that issue, it is highly important to find some substitutes that replace the cement properties. Hence in this paper, the use of by-products from the construction industry is highlighted. one such component is fly ash which has good properties are been used instead of cement and to replace fine aggregate quarry dust is used along with some alkaline solutions which will act as a binder for the process. Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Silicate Potassium Hydroxide, Potassium Silicate are some of the alkaline solutions used as a binder. Here in this project Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and sodium silicate (Na2Sio3) are been used that too in different molarities i.e. 8M, 10M and 12M are taken to for the mixes. And the ultimate aim of this is to find Compressive strength for each of the mix along with tensile strength too. Nine cube and six-cylinder specimens are taken of size 150mm x 150mm x 150mm and 150 x 300 mm. The test is done for different ages like 7,14 and 28 days and also split tensile strength test for 7th and 28 days with sunlight curing and finally, the strengths are calculated.
