| description | Sand is the non-renewable resource which has been over-exploited from
rivers in sync with the rapid development of construction industries to produce
concrete. This affected the morphology of rivers and interrupted the functionality of
riverine ecosystems by pollution. Meanwhile, the unrecyclable spent garnets were
disposed of on a large scale and led to waste pollution. Therefore, this study aimed to
determine the compressive and flexural strengths of concrete consisting of spent
garnet as sand replacement. The specimens were prepared with consisting of spent
garnet as sand replacement by weight in 0%, 10%, 20%, 30% and 40%. They were
tested under compressive strength test at the age of 7 and 28 days while flexural
strength test was conducted on the 28days. The findings revealed that the workability
of fresh concrete was enhanced by an incremental amount of spent garnet. However,
the compressive and flexural strengths of concrete consisting of spent garnet were
discerned to be lower than control samples at all levels of replacement. Overall, the
replacement with 20% spent garnet showed the optimum compressive and flexural
strengths. It is concluded that the usage of spent garnet is considered as a promising
resource for reducing consumption of sand and thus, improving the environmental
problems. |
