Description

This book is a brief introduction to the Stone Sludge as Raw Materials in Concrete. This experimental and analytical research work is an effort to try to develop the awareness and importance of Stone Sludge material management and its utilization in a productive manner among the construction professionals. In today's environmentally conscious world, a more responsible approach to the environment is to increase the use of Stone industry of one industry which is disposed off as waste which can be used as raw material for some other industry. Lack of awareness, Consumer preferences, competitive marketing strategies and a lot of miss-understandings among the users have impeded their utilization in our country. Stone waste generation continues from mining process to finished product and contributes about 60-80 % of the worked masses of the mineral mined. Here we used stone waste in concrete with replacement of Ordinary Portland Cement and Pozzolana Portland Cement which are very important materials of concrete and make the new concrete "Stone Sludge Concrete: Sustainable Construction".
