Abstract
Sand-like fine aggregate is a component in concrete construction all around the world.There are several projects that use cement to partially replace fine or coarse aggregate, however i have done my research on using brick ballast to partially replace sand.This project illustrates how fine aggregates can be largely replaced by brick ballast. The ideal percentage of replacements is created, and strength and workability characteristics are researched. I have performed partial replacements by brick ballast with a variety of percentages as 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% & 30%. With the inclusion of the brick ballast, the workability of concrete is reduced. According to the test results, fine particles in place of brick ballast provide concrete with a 30% greater maximum strength. Therefore, we employ the ideal proportion of brick ballast to provide the maximum strength needed for the structure.
