Abstract:

Material engineers in developed countries face numerous problems regarding the disposal of industrial and agricultural wastes. Also, the cost of construction materials is increasing globally, and there is a huge gap between the demand and supply of cement throughout these countries. In this regard, this study is aimed to investigate the mechanical behavior of an innovative concrete mixture in which industrial and agricultural waste is incorporated into its components. Corn Ash was used as agricultural waste, as it burned in the uncontrolled area and used as cement replacement material by a constant percentage of 5% for all mixtures. Waste glass, Granite, and Crushed Concrete were used as industrial waste. A percentage of 10% of the fine natural aggregate as a constant percentage for all mixtures was replaced with glass waste. At the same time, a combination percentage of Granite and Crushed Concrete replaced 50% of coarse aggregate. Nine mixtures were used to investigate the mechanical behavior of concrete with various percentages of Granite and Crushed Concrete. A total of 162 samples of M40 grade concrete are cast for mechanical tests: 54 cubes for a compression test, 54 cylinders for a split tensile test, and 54 beams for the flexural test. The results indicated that the use of crushed concrete only as coarse aggregate replacement leads to a reduction in strength by about 60% of than controlled mix; this reduction was recovered by the addition of granite waste which gives the highest strength of all mixtures, 43 MPa with reduction of only 2% than controlled mix.
