Abstract

Abstract: Bakelite is a industrial waste produce in manufacturing process like in Auto Industries etc. Nowadays the waste increases rapidly because of these modern living and thus creates a waste management problem. It is necessary to overcome such waste related problem in a meaningful manner. The purpose of this study is to find whether the Bakelite gives us that much Compressive strength as compared to conventional M25 grade concrete by replacing fine aggregate with Bakelite waste. So, this research examines the utilization of waste Bakelite in concrete with varying percentage like 0%, 17%, 20%30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%. Different percentages of Bakelite are added and tests like the slump cone test, compaction factor test were conducted to investigate the fresh properties like workability and compression test were performed to find out the 7, 14 and 28 days compressive strength. It is found that the replacement of fine aggregate with Bakelite can be done up to 20% without compromising the compressive strength of the M25 grade concrete.
