ABSTRACT

Concrete plays a prominent role in the construction industry. In the present scenario,thereisashortageofthismaterial so there is a need to find alternatives to replace it in the concrete many waste products which are available freely like a paperwaste,redmud, rice huskandplastic waste can be used.Among all of these, Ground nut shell ashis one of the good waste materials available from the oil industry. It can be used widely for the replacement of cement. The ground net shell contains CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, and Fe2O3. This experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the strength of concrete, in which cement was replaced with ground nut shell ash for cubes, cylinders, and Prisms with different percentageswhichvaryfrom0%to40%at an interval of 15% were performed.

Concrete was batched by weight on adopting a ratio of 1:1.5:3 with water cementratioof0.4.TheseCubes,cylinders, andprismsweretestedfor7and28daysfor compression, flexural and split tensile strengths. It is observed that 15% replacement ofground nut shell ash shown thehighest strengthvalueswhencompared with other percentages and for 15%

INTRODUCTION

General

The continuous increase in the price of Portland cement is attributed to the insufficient production rate of the raw materials when compared withthe demand rateintheconstructionindustriesGround

nut shell ash was partially used cement in concrete. Thus, the possible use of agriculture waste Groundnut shell ash (GSA) is one of the potential waste materials to be used for cement replacement.

Scope

Toanalysingexperimentalstudyof ground nut shell ash partially replacement of cement in concrete. The utilization of ground nut shell ash reduces the environmental problemsGSA/OPC concrete were cured in cubes of 100mm dimensionfor7,14,21and28daysandthe compressive strength and density determinedThegroundnutshellashmaybe used as a partial replacement of cement.

Advantages

the strength of the control was higher, replacement ofcement withashup to 30% wouldbemoresuitablethanothers.

MATERIALSCHARACTERISTICS

Cement

Cement is an extremely fine material having adhesive and cohesive properties which provides a binding medium for the discrete ingredients. Cement is several times stronger binding material than lime and clay. OPC cement are using53 grade cement for concrete.

MSand

M Sand is known for its uniform and consistent particle size distribution, which is one of its key advantages over natural river sand.

Coarseaggregate

Coarse aggregates are a construction component made of rock quarried from ground deposits. Typically the most common size of aggregate used in construction is 20mm.

Ground nutshellash powder

Groundnut shell ash is a by product obtained from the burning of groundnut shells.GSAcontainsappreciableamountof active silica (SiO2) and other refractory oxides such as Alumina (Al2O3) and hematite (Fe2O3).

CONCLUSION

Inthisproject,anexperimentalstudy hasbeenconductedonconcretebyvarying the percentage of ground nut shell ash powder as 0%, 10%, 15% and 30% respectively to study the increase in the compressive strength of concrete.

COMPRESSIVESTRENGTH

After adding 15% ash powder in the mix,thereisanincreaseinthestrengthof cube after 7 daysBy adding 15%, ash powder there is large amount of increase in strength after 7 and 28 days respectively. The optimum strength of cube is gain at 15% replacement for all 7 and 28 days respectively
