Abstract:

 An experimental study is conducted on “SILICA SAND”, industrial waste mixed with cement concrete in partial replacement of cement as it contains high percentage of silicon. Silica sand is a by-product of glass manufacturing industries. The concrete of M25 design mix with various percentages of Silica sand such as 0%,5%,10%,15%,20%,25% & 30% replacing cement has been used in the investigation. Experimental study is carried out to investigate the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete with replacement of Silica sand. The test program consists of carrying out compressive strength test on cubes, split tensile strength test on cylinders and flexural strength test on beams.

Keywords:

Silica Sand, Compressive Strength, Flexural Strength, Split Tensile Strength.
