The project is to study the possibility of utilizing the waste over burnt brick and durability of the light weight concrete, where the light weight concrete is produced by replacing the brick bats as coarse aggregates, and Rice husk as fine aggregate. We are going to test durability of concrete based on strength criteria. In this project the Brick bat is replaced 5%, 10%, 15% & 20% and strength of the cubes are tested on 7, 14, 28, 56, 90, 180 & 359 days. Fine aggregate is replaced by 5% of Rice husk to reduce the density of concrete. Normally the density of the concrete is in between 2100 to 2200Kg/m3 for brick bats replaced concrete, hence it is called as medium light weight concrete. In this Project the strength and the density trends with increase in the Curing period. The reuse of materials like this brick bats and rice husk would contribute to sanitize our environment from its hazardous effects. The relationship between compressive strength and curing period, compressive strength and replacement of brick bats helps to analyze the durability of concrete. The density of cubes decreases and compressive strength increases with increase in curing period.
