Abstract :
Concrete is a material used in building construction, consisting of a hard, chemically inert particulate substance, known as aggregate, that is bound by cement and water. Density of normal concrete is in the order of about 2500 kg per cubic meter for conventional concrete. In construction industry, consumption of cement and sand is increase day by day as well as cost is also increasing. So to reduce the consumption of cement and sand, there is a need to replace a part of cement by some pozzolanic material to reduce the consumption of cement to control the environmental pollution to some extent. The Experimental are carried out to explore the possibility of using 10% Met kaolin (MK) and 10%, 15% and 20% of brick powder (BP) as a replacement of cement in concrete mixture. The use of Metakaolin and brick powder is produced. The main focus of this project has been studies that flexural behavior of concrete made with 10% Metakaolin and 10%, 15% and 20% brick powder as a replacement of cement. The cubes were tested at 7 and 28 days. The Compressive strength of these cubes is compared with the strength of referral concrete (design mix concrete M35). The experimental work carried out and the result obtained are presented and discussed in this report.
