Abstract

Extensive research is in progress in the field of concrete technology in finding suitable replacement for cement. With the rapid growth in construction industry leading to increased consumption of concrete which further leads to increase in production of cement, resulting in global sustainability problems. An attempt has been made to study the effects on properties of both fresh and hardened concrete by using lime stone powder as an alternative binding material to cement at various percentages (5%, 10% and 15%).
