| Abstract | The objective of this study is to develop recycled reactive powder concrete from local waste raw materials and investigate their combined effect on mechanical properties for sustainable construction. Waste glass powder from construction sites and waste fly ash from cement industries in three different percentages were utilized for full replacement of silica fume. Waste ceramic powder was also utilized to replace quartz powder fully. Recycled reactive powder concrete were developed from Portland cement, finely dispersed waste glass powder, waste ceramic powder, waste fly ash, fine sand, admixture, steel fibres and water at standard curing and using hand mixing. All raw materials were analyzed for X-Ray Fluorescence analysis. To evaluate the mechanical performances of the developed concrete, compressive and flexural strengths were investigated experimentally and compared with the control mix. The experimental results indicated that replacing the silica fume fully by finely dispersed local waste glass powder and fly ash is a promising approach for local structural construction applications. A mean compressive strength of 62.9MPa and flexural strength of 8.8MPa were developed using 50% glass powder 50% fly ash at 28th days standard curing. In this study, 17.56% larger compressive strength and 30.6% flexural strength improvements were observed as compared to the control mix. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
