Waste Fines, Hot Mix Plant, Concrete, Compressive Strength
Portland cement is energy intensive and not sustainable. The fines from hot mix plant have high potential to replace cement in making concrete. This paper reports the properties of concrete with waste fines from hot mix plant. All the materials used for the research were characterized. A concrete mix of M40 was designed using conventional ingredients. The cement was replaced by waste fines from hot mix plant in various percentages in making modified concrete. The resulting fresh concrete was tested for workability and the hardened concrete was tested for water absorption, density test, and compressive, split tensile and flexural strength. It was found that the concrete with fines from hot mix plant possesses better compressive strength and other properties compared to conventional controlled concrete. Hence the concrete with waste fines can be recommended as structural materials.
