1.INTRODUCTION
Concrete is the most important building material in the world. In all construction purpose sand is utilized as a unique
raw material. Now a days this time River sand is being one of the most popular options for the fine aggregate of
concrete, But excess utilization of material has effected on environmental condition.Construction industriesplay
animportant role in developing countries like Iindia .Resuse of industrial and agricultural waste has actual ben efit for
environment and natural resources.Production of cement is increasing day by day atin a present time for manufacturing
purpose. This is leadingto amount of co 2produce and affects directly or indirectly to our enviroment .According to a
survey search 300 million tonnes of waste are being produce per year fromvarious agricultural and industrial processes.
These materials create so many problems these material s can not dispose and burnt etc .If we do these thing s it will
affectatmosphere, thereis only one solution to use theagricultural waste in contruction industry .
The use of waste has traditional material in construction and hence provides practical and economic advantages. The
proper utilization of these wastes conserves the natural resources and protects the environment.
The Wheat husk ash can also isused in manufacturing concrete block due to the following point:
(i). Large production of wheat in India and in the other country of world.
(ii).It is the staple food in majority of the country of the world and thus generates the husk in huge quantities per year.
(iii).After the wheat grain is collected, the husk and ash is thrown and causing environmental pollution.
(iv).Some percentage of husk serves as eatable for the domestic animals while excess is wasted.
(v).Organic wastes serves as good manure for plants.
(vi).It is helpful and cost effective material and low rising building.
(vi).It is an environmental eco-friendly construction material.

Crushed Stone dust has been proposed as an alternative to river sand that gives additional benefits to concrete. Stone
dust is known to increase the strength of concrete over concrete made with equal quantities of river sand and it also
causes a reduction in the workability of concrete. On the other hand, the advantages aggregate industries which
produce crushed stone dust. The waste materials are used to affect the reduction in environment load and decrease the
production cost of concrete block as well as improving the quality of concrete .Stone dust is used as replacement of
fine aggregates in manufacture of concrete block. The utilization of stone dust for concrete blocks makes financially
advantage for construction and reduces air pollution in environment.

4.1.WORKABILITY:
The workability is one of the most important physical parameter of concrete which affect the strength and durability,
and also affect the appearance of the finished structure has been. It is observed that degree of workability is medium as
per BIS(IS:456-2000) for normal concrete. The workability of concrete depends on the water cement ratio and water
absorption capacity of constitute of material used. Water added is more which will leads to bleeding or segregation of
aggregate. The test for the workability of concrete is given by Indian standard. It is also observed that as the percentage
of Wheat husk ash and crushed stone dust increase from 0% to 30%, the mix become stiffer and workability results in
low sump value. Low slump value may have great impact on the workability of concrete.
4.1.1. Slump cone Test
The test are perform according to IS 1199-1959 is followed, compaction factor value decreace as increace the
percentage of wheat husk ashand crushed stone dust because wheat husk ashrequired lot of water so concrete becom
less stiff (less workable)table show the result .The higher the slum value ,the greater its ability to work easier in
construction site. As the percentage of Wheat husk ash and crushed stone dust is increase then Workability is reducing.
The reason for this is the water absorption of wheat husk ash and crushed stone dust.
4.2.COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH TEST:
Compressive strength test inlaboratory method for concrete cube has because foundthe desirable characteristics
properties of design mix concrete are related to its compressive strength. Compressive strength test is done as per
IS516-1959.The compressive strength test was made using Compressive Testing Machine (CTM) of 2000 KN capacity.
The compressive strength of M25 grade of concrete cube was tested using sample of 150mm x150mmx150mm cube
specimen. The strength of concrete cubes was tested at an age of 7 days, 14 days and 28 days after curingat 270 C.And
the results obtained are reported in table no 4.3and also shown in graph 4.3.1.Where replacement of Cement with
Wheat husk ash fine aggregatewith crushed stone dust in %age, in concrete 7 days test has been conducted to check the
gain in initial strength of concrete and after 14 days and 28 days curing it test gives the final strength of concrete.

6. CONCLUSION
The usage of Wheat husk ash and Crushed stone dust in concrete improved its quality in terms of strength. The
following conclusions were based on the study and the test result.
(i).The Compressive strength of Concrete increases up to 40% after replacing Cement withWheat husk ash and Fine
aggregate with Crushed stone dust and further increasing of percentage of Wheat husk ash and Crushed stone dust
leads to decrease in compressive strength of concrete.
(ii).The Split tensile strength of concrete increases up to 30% after replacing of cement withWheat husk ash and Fine
aggregate with crushed stone dust & further increasing of percentage of Wheat husk ash and Crushed stone dust
leads to decrease in Split tensile strength of concrete.
(iii).The Flexural strength increases up to 30% after replacing of Cement with Wheat husk ash and fine aggregate with
Crushed stone dust and further increases in the percentage of Wheat husk ash and Crushed stone dust leads to
decrease in flexural strength.
(iv).It is concluded that the Wheat husk ash and Crushed stone dust can be used as a replacement material for Cement
and fine aggregates,40% replacement of cement with Wheat husk ash and fine aggregate with Crushed stone dust
gives an excellent result in strength, as compared to the normal concrete.
(v).Use of these waste material leads to sustainable development in construction industry.
(vi).To save the environment, Wheat husk ash and Crushed stone dust may be used as better partial substitute as
aBetter partial substitute as a replacement of sand in concrete.
7. SCOPE OF THE FUTURE WORK
This project was mainly focused on the partial replaced of Ordinary Portland cement with Wheat husk ash and fine
sand replaced with crushed stone dust at different percentage level in concrete. Research may be conducted on other
properties and uses of Wheat husk ash and Crushed stone dust in the near future to make this product a precious
building material to improve the quality of building construction. In this research paper it has helped to manufacture
concrete block in masonry work and partition wall in the building. Other types of study that can be included with
Wheat husk ash and Crushed stone dust may be listed as below;
