5 INTRODUCTION
 Cement, main binder for production of concrete, mortar, sand
crete blocks.

 Cement is expensive as well as being environmental problems.

 For supplementary cementitious materials, cow dung can be

used at certain amount.

 Cement can be replaced by cow dung ash as 6%,8%,10%,12%

and 14%.

6 SCOPE OF THE STUDY
 Examine the effectiveness of using cow dung ash as a
study will be conducted on strength parameter.

 Necessity of the waste material for manufacturing of

sustainable concrete.

 Material is locally available and reduce cost of concrete.

 To overcome the emissions of gases like carbon-dioxide,

nitrogen oxide.

MATERIALS USED IN ANALYSIS
1. Cement
 Ordinary port land cement 53 grade used.

2. Fine aggregate
 Fine aggregates which can pass through 4.75mm IS sieve were used.

3. Coarse aggregate
 Crushed store aggregate of 20mm size was used.

4. Water
 Water should be clean and free from oil, alkali,acid

5. Super plasticizer
 To impart additional workability a super plasticizer
CERAPLAST 300 was used.

6. Cow dung ash

 Exposed to sunlight; burn to get ash; ash stored in an air
tied container.

7. Glass fiber
 Glass fiber with modulus of elasticity 74gpa.

 Specific gravity of cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate are

tested.

 Sieve analysis done as per IS 2386 (part 1)-1963.

 Consistency of cement is done to determine the standard water

requirement for setting time.

 Initial and final setting is done to determined consistency of concrete.

11 CONTD…
 Slump test and compaction factor test conducted to
determine the workability of concrete as per IS 456-2000.

 The curing was allowed until the date of testing for 7th ,
14th, 28th days.

 Compressive strength were conducted on specimens

having size 150*150mm and the average strength was
taken as the compressive strength of concrete.

16 CONCLUSIONS
 The replacement of cement with cow dung ash 6% and 8%
leads to increase in compressive strength.

 Maximum strength is attained at 8% cow dung ash and

0.5% of glass fiber.

SUMMARY

 Workability of concrete decrease with increase of cow

dung ash and glass fiber.

 But using super plasticizer desired workability of concrete

can be achieved.
