Abstract

The construction industry cannot operate without the utilization of concrete. The manufacturing of materials like cement and aggregates has been considered to cause the most pollution in the construction industry. The construction industry is compelled to identify an alternate material for concrete matrix because of material scarcity, a supply-demand imbalance, and environmental contamination. Reviewing previous and current research on the use of substitute materials in concrete production and its uses in the construction sector is the main goal of this study. The researchers' interest in using these materials as an alternative source for cement and aggregate materials was stoked by the widespread availability of recyclable waste materials including Construction and Demolition Wastes (C and DW) and industrial byproduct like bagasse ash. In the present study the compressive strength of the modified concrete of grade M20 is taken into consideration. For modification of concrete and to make the concrete economical, waste materials like recycled aggregates and bagasse ash are used. The natural coarse aggregates are completely replaced by recycled aggregates and the cement is partially replaced (by weight) by bagasse ash.This study might support encouraging users to use more alternative materials for producing concrete for significantly large construction projects
