| Summary: | In this research work, an attempt is being made to partially replace the natural fine aggregate with sea sand and recycled fine aggregate obtained from demolished concrete waste in varied proportions to concrete mix and subject the specimens to mechanical strength tests for short and long durations of 7, 28, 56 and 90 days curing. The compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength results of 30% mix proportion (15% Sea sand + 15% demolished waste sand) were found to be 58.3 N/mm2, 3.53 N/mm2 and 4.71N/mm2 respectively. All the three strength test results obtained were found to yield 15% higher strength than the control specimens. Finally, it can be concluded that partial replacement of natural fine aggregate by sea sand and demolition recycled fine aggregate in construction industry, not only eliminates the waste management problems and impacts on environment, but also leads to the sustainable development by reducing the consumption of natural resources. |
