| Popis: | Due to rapid urbanization around the world, production of cement concrete has increased several times, in turn, affect the ecosystem by the depletion of natural resources and emission of greenhouse gases. In this study, a sustainable approach has been made by partially admixing ordinary Portland cement with wollastonite micro fiber and natural fine aggregate with granite block cutting waste. The mechanical characteristics of concrete samples such as compressive strength, flexural strength, density and split tensile strength were conducted to evaluate the influence of wollastonite micro fiber and granite block cutting waste on different mixes. Different concrete mixes were casted by partially substituting ordinary portland cement with constant 10% wollastonite micro fiber and fine aggregate with granite block cutting waste at different substitution level of (0%, 10%, 20%, 30%,40% and 50%) by weight. The partial substitution of wollastonite micro fiber and granite block cutting waste enhanced the mechanical properties of cement concrete. |
