Abstract :

Now a day’s lots of deis of demolished concrete are generating, and river bedded sand which is in scarce, its utilization causing damage to the environment. Since very less research work is carried out to utilize recycled coarse aggregates in fresh concrete and crushed granitic stone as fine aggregate. Hence the authors got inspired to carry out the research under consideration. Within this research work totally recycled coarse aggregates are used. Fine aggregates i:e river bedded sand is replaced cent percent with Granitic stone Bellary sand. In this investigational study workability and strength of M20 Grade concrete is evaluated by casting cubes and curing them for 7, 14, and 28 days. The compressive strength of concrete specimens made with cent percent replacement Granitic stone Bellary sand gives similar strength as that of river bedded sand. Hence it can be concluded that granitic stone Bellary sand which is far cheaper compared to river bedded sand can be utilized in casting of concrete comfortably
