INTERNSHIP REPORT

ON OPTIMIZATION OF MATERIALS FOR BUILDING


CONCRETE BLOCKS USING ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS.

By :- Chibom Kamcham

1. INTRODUCTION
The construction industry is a significant contributor to environmental
degradation, mainly due to extensive use of cement based materials ,
which releases substantial carbon dioxide emissions during production.
To address this issue , the development of eco friendly concrete blocks
using sustainable materials has gained attention. This report examine the
feasibility and benefits of such an approach.
This report explores the optimization of materials blocks using eco-
friendly materials, with a focus on sustainable alternatives to traditional
cement based blocks. The aim is to reduce the environmental impact of
construction while maintaining required structural integrity and
durability. Various eco-friendly materials and their potential benefits are
analysed , along with the challenges and opportunities associated with
their adoption.

3. Methodology
The aim of the present study was to find an optimum percentage of the
materials used and this was done by studying their effect on compressive
strength of mortar by partial replacement of cement with different
proportions of fly ash & Rice husk ash and partial replacement of sand with
different proportions of Quarry Dust, Saw Dust & Crumb Rubber. The Mortar
mix of MM7.5 grade was prepared as per IS:2250- 1981 having mix design
ratio as 1:3 and w/c ratio of 0.50. To carry out the experimental investigation
total 69 cubes of size 70mm x 70mm were casted. 6 cubes of each mix were
casted to determine the compressive strength. ADD MORE, WRITE ABOUT

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION


Each set of 3 cubes of grade MM7.5 were tested in Compression Testing Machine with different replacements as
shown in table A to determine the compressive strength after 7 curing. Average value of these 3 readings gives the
average compressive strength of concrete. The average compressive strength of cubes at the age of 7 days was
found as 14.88 N/mm² for normal mortar with no fly ash or other materials.

After this we proceeded with replacement of cement and keeping other ingredients like sand and water
as constant. Cement was replaced 50% and the other proportions included 20% FA 30% RHA, 25%FA 25%
RHA and so on. The results showed that there was a slight increase in the compressive strength when FA
addition was 20% and a significant increase in compressive strength when the FA was 30%. The results of
all the mixes of cement replacement have been shown below.
