Performance evaluation of rmc waste incorporated concrete

Abstract

Mankindand#8223;s aptitude for research got triggered ever since the first newlineinvention was made with the wheel. The advent of computers with software newlinefor the engineering designs saves considerable time and labour in the newlineconstruction field. Innovative ideas in the domain of cost-effective material newlinesubstitution in concrete prompt the civil engineering community to fulfil the newlineexpectations of the people to get shelter. In the present situation, every day newlinehuge amount of domestic and industrial wastes are generated. The state-ofthe- newlineart information technologies and tools are motivating the human newlinecommunity to opt for the eco-friendly structures. Hence for an ecologically newlinesafer construction, the conventional building materials need to be replaced or newlinesubstituted with appropriate waste materials by means of suitable treatments, newlinerecycling and reuse. Till today concrete remains the backbone for construction newlineactivities. As the needs for concrete increase day by day, the demand-supply newlinegap exists in getting a good quality of concrete at right time for the newlineconstruction sites. This situation has necessitated the production of Ready newlineMix Concrete (RMC) on a massive scale. As RMC has to depend on the newlineconventional materials to a larger extent partial substitution or complete newlinereplacement of equivalent materials shall have to be given thought. Cement is newlinean inevitable binding material in concrete and it can only be considered for a newlinepartial substitution by an equivalent material. The other constituent materials newlinesuch as fine aggregate or coarse aggregate can be partially or fully replaced newlinewith appropriate substitute materials that can be an industrial by-product. newline newline
