ABSTRACT
The usage of cement has expanded significantly as a result of daily advancements and development in the construction industry, and the amount of solid debris generated during construction demolition has also increased significantly. These factors led to the reuse of destroyed construction waste like granite powder, which helped to minimize both the amount of solid waste produced and the shortage of cement needed to make concrete. Waste generated from the manufacturing facility of granite powder also results from the destruction of buildings. According to studies, 20–30% of the material prepared in powder production plants ends up as waste. Due to the limited supply of cement, it should be necessary to make use of this waste material in order to manage building wastes. In place of cement, crushed waste granite powders are used. 0%, 30%, 35%, 40%, and 45% of the cement was substituted with crushed granite waste powder. Concrete of the M25 grade has been developed and tested. By substituting different percentages of crushed powder for cement, several mix designs for various sorts of mixes were created. Following completion of the 7, 14, and 28-day curing periods, experimental studies were conducted to determine the workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength of various concrete mixes containing various percentages of crushed trash. It has been found that as the percentage of crushed powder replacement increases, so does the workability. Additionally, the fine granite powder boosts concrete strength by up to 35% percentage.
