Conservation of natural resources and effective management of waste materials that can harm our environment is a challenging phenomenon. This paper is focused to study the different properties of M30 grade concrete where the coarse aggregate has been completely replaced by commercially available sintered fly ash aggregate and it has proved to meet the target strength. To further improve the crack resisting behavior and tensile strength,basalt fibers was incorporated. The incorporation of fibers has improved the mechanical properties to around 3-4%. The RCPT and water absorption test has proved that the durability properties of sintered fly ash aggregate are within the standard specified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
