 INTRODUCTION
■ Cement is the most utilized construction material, and the second most
consumed commodity in the world after water.
■ The overall concrete production cost depends largely on the availability
and cost of its constituents like cement, aggregate etc.,
■ The production of cement is increasing yearly and substantially in the
worlds carbon dioxide emission is attributable to the cement industry.
■ There is need to economize the use of cement as we cannot go on
producing more of it because of the significant contribution to the
environmental pollution.
■ One of the practical solution to economize cement is to replace cement
with industrial by-products and agricultural wastes like corn cob ash
 CORN COB
■ A Corncob, also called cob of corn, is the central core of an of corn
(also known as maize). It is the part of an ear in which kernel seeds
grow
■ In Agricultural fields it is considered
as waste or used for preparation of
fertilizers
■ Here it is used with cement in a
small proportion to reduce the
dependence on cement also to control Fig 1: corn cob
the environmental effects during its
production
 CONCRETE PAVERS
■ Concrete is a composite material composed of fine and coarse aggregate
bonded together with a fluid cement that hardens over time.
■ Concrete paving bricks are porous form of brick formed by mixing small
stone hardcore, dyes, cement and other materials in various amounts.
■ Concrete pavers are able to resist
extreme temperatures.
■ Block paving also known as brick paving,
is commonly used decorative method of
creating a pavement or stepping stones

TOPIC AUTHOR NAMES YEAR WORDINGS
Experimentally Kamu and Ahamed 2017 • Highest compressive strength was observed
assessed the et.al at the 7.5 % and above
suitability of CCA as • Showed impressive strengths suitable for
a partial cement structural works
replacement
Effects of partially Anjaneyulu et.al 2017 • The compressive strength of the concrete
replacing cement in cubes increased as the days of curing
concrete with waste increased
Materials • Also concluded that it will improve waste to
wealth initiative through only 10 % CCA
replacement
The partial Priya et.al 2017 • The researcher concluded that concrete
replacement of acquires maximum increase in strength of
cement with CCA and concrete at 5 % replacement of cement by
coarse aggregate with CCA and 40 % coarse aggregate replacement
steel slag by steel slag.

To investigate the Okwadha et.al 2016 • Absorption and compressive strength of 150 mm x 150
Partial replacement of mm x 150 mm cubes cured for 7, 14 and 28 days increased
cement by plant solid as cement replacement increased
waste ash in concrete • The researchers concluded that results have shown that the
Production use of blended concrete can reduce environmental
degradation attributed to disposal of plant wastes and raw
materials mining for cement manufacture
The possible use of Dauda et.al 2016 • The compressive strength remained stable, even increased
CCA as a partial with the weathering exposure
replacement of cement • Recommended that subsequent studies should be done on 0
in concrete block - 40 % replacement of cement with CCA and in steps of 5
production % while concretes with the presence of ash content should
be allowed to cure for 90days
Concrete produced by Toryila et.al 2016 • Observed that the concrete strength decreased with
partial replacement of increasing replacement with the CCA
cement with CCA • concluded that CCA can be used as partial replacement for
cement in concrete production as well as for walls of
building units and other mild construction works, and
replacement should not exceed 10% as strength produced
above this replacement level may not be adequate for
strength requirements

Ability of CCA to be Kamau et.al 2016 • The results showed impressive compressive
used as a strengths that were suitable for structural
supplementary applications. The researchers concluded from
cementitious material the sulfate elongation test that CCA
(SCM) by testing for supplemented concrete could be used in
pozzolanic properties aggressive environments with an advantage
and performance in • Reported that CCA can be used as a
sulfate environments supplementary cementitious material to mitigate
on the cost of cement and its impacts on the
environment

The development of Suwanmaneechot 2015 • The researchers observed that CCA that was
waste CCA as et.al treated at 600 °C for 4h samples showed
supplementary slightly higher effectiveness for improving the
cement replacement splitting tensile strength and compressive
materials strength of concrete when compared to the
untreated CCA
 OBJECTIVES

■ Effective utilization of waste material like maize corn cob ash to reduce
environmental impact.
■ Behavior of corn cob ash (CCA) by replacing different value with
cement.
■ Structural performance of pavers by conducting various tests as per
Indian standard.
■ To assess economic and environmental benefits of Corn cob as partial
replacement.
 MATERIAL USED
■ MAIZE CORN COB ASH
The corncob was collected from local area, a major corn producing
rural community in India,
the cob was dried thoroughly
And burnt in open space.
Finally, the ash was
Sieved using 600 micron
sieve

a) Refers corn cob b) Refers Corn cob ash

■ CEMENT:
The cement used for this research
work is Ordinary Portland cement
(OPC).
Fig : cement

■ COARSE AGGREGATE:
Coarse aggregate refers to the
crushed stone particle used in
cement concrete mixture
Fig :coarse aggregate
■ FINE AGGREGATE:
The sharp sand used was obtained
From river source. It was air dried for 72
hours to reduce the moisture present in it.
The sand was also clean and sharp,
free from clay, loam, dirt or organic matters
conform to the requirement of IS:386:2016 Fig 5: fine aggregate

■ WATER:
Tap water was used for mixing and curing of the concrete.
The physical examination of the water shows that it was clean,
free from impurities .
 METHODOLOGY
The methodology adopted for the experiment on partial
replacement of cement by corn cob ash for preparation of concrete
pavers id followed by:
