Concrete with reused concrete sand

Abstract

This paper examines the impacts of substitution of reused concrete sand (RCS) with sands, on the new and hardened physiognomies of concrete. the property of RCS blended concrete was examined and likened with ordinary concrete of 40 MPa compression strength. the physiognomies of RCS concrete vary from ordinary concrete arranged with characteristic sand, as an outcome of the quality of connected mortar, old cement glue, and more fines. the outcomes demonstrate that the RCS concrete demonstrations tantamount workability in contrast with ordinary concrete. the mechanical physiognomies (compressive, flexure, split tensile and elastic modulus) of concrete developed with RCS was lower in compression to ordinary concrete however worthy up to 60percentage RCS in the blend. The drying shrinkage strain of 100percentage RCC mixed concrete at twenty-eight days was watched twice in compression to controlled concrete and it demonstrated more abrasion value in that comparison and furthermore concrete developed with 100 percent RCS indicated 41percentage and 11.3percentage lower in sorption value at ahead of schedule and later age organize individually in that examination.
