Abstract

Due to rapid development of construction industries in various dimensions, demand for construction materials is also gaining high momentum. Therefore, availability of natural sources of construction materials is going to be in decreasing trend to cope up with the high demand. Again currently, quantity of construction and demolition waste is also going too high day by day. Reuse of these construction and demolition waste is one of the promising solutions to protect natural fine aggregates. This study aims at investigations the possibility of the usage of these construction and demolition wastes to produce the fresh concrete with desirable properties. Natural fine aggregates (river sand) are replaced by the recycled fine aggregates by the different percentage levels for the production of fresh concrete. A comparative interpretation on the strength characteristics of the concrete produced with Ordinary Portland Cement and Portland Pozzolana Cement is also presented and discussed in this paper.
