Experimental Investigation of Eco Sand in Concrete

Abstract :

Eco sand is a cost effective Eco friendly alternative to traditional sand used in construction. It is finely powdered crystalline silica which can replace conventional sand usage in concrete and mortars. Eco sand ensures a comparatively denser concrete and mortar than those made with conventional sand. An experimental study has been done to achieve high strength concrete using Rich mineral silica (Eco sand) from manufacture of cement as the partial replacement of natural sand (upto30%to 60%) in concrete and studied its mechanical properties and the Experimental results are also shows that the compressive strength.
