Abstract:

The process of depleting sources of natural aggregates challenges the production of technically and environmentally adequate concrete. Alternative material from marine sources is good enough for the replacement of fine aggregate in the concrete. The material was stockpiled in the open air and no washing, drying or decontamination process was carried out. Physical and chemical properties of Marine Sand (MS) material were determined. All the materials used in the concrete were selected and tested as per the standard procedures of the Indian standards. A unique design mix of M35 will be done based on the entire material test results. Different mixtures were produced using MS in different proportions from 25% to 100% as per the finalized trial of the design mix. The concrete were submitted to compressive strength tests, split tensile strength test & flexural strength test after 7 & 28 days of moist curing.
