Cement concrete is an universal material. It is the largest consumed material next to water. Concrete is a marvelous material that can, without any hesitation accept its special characteristic of receiving so many waste materials/byproducts viz flyash, ggbs, silica fume etc. into it and producing good results for us. In the scenario rampant use of natural materials for the production of cement, the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and the contribution of cement industry in the emission of CO2 and other objectionable gases, there is an obligation to use all sorts of indigenous waste products /byproducts and cheaply available minerals in the concrete check/verify and determine the suitability of them as cement concrete admixtures so as to reduce the green house gases in large scale. In kadapa district there are Barytes mines which the world class barytes is extracted.Barytes is used in as coarse/fine aggregate in high density concrete/mortars for the attenuation of radiation. Much research is not done on the usage of barytes powder as filler in concrete. In the present investigation, an attempt is made to find the effort of barytes powder on the mechanical and durability properties of concrete. Compressive and split tensile strength test, Water permeability, Chloride permeability an Electrical resistivity test were conducted to find strength and durability properties of concrete .It is observed that barytes powder can be used successfully in M30 Concrete to enhance the said properties.

Keywords: OPC concrete, barites powder, Water permeability, Chloride permeability, Electrical resistivity.
