Abstract

The increased emphasis on the life-cycle cost analysis for building project requires that new attention to be focused on service life and durability of concrete structures. Durability is the ability to resist weathering action, chemical attack or any other process of deterioration. Concrete’s great versatility and relative economy in filling wide range needs has made it a competitive building material. This high demand for concrete in construction lead to the increase in the release of carbon dioxide in cement production and also to the scarcity of natural river sand. So there is an urge to replace the conventional concrete materials. Materials like Brick powder (BP) and Quarry dust (QD) are chosen based on the criteria of cost and durability properties.
