Abstract - According to the progressing survey, there is
awareness on utilizing the bio-waste in an efficient manner.
Concrete stands as the third main industry in contributing to
the carbon-di-oxide emissions. Lignin being an aromatic
polymer is present in all biological specimens and is found to
be in higher concentration in coir dust. On adding lignin as a
cement replacement material in various percentages, the
results expect to create a greater impact in the compressive
strength of the concrete. Using different concentration, not
only the thickening time was affected, it also exhibited some
variations in the compressive strength of the concrete.
Key Words: Lignin, Extraction, Coir dust, Compressive
Strength,
1. INTRODUCTION
The progressing economy has a high demand over
development of infrastructure. They mainly insist on cost
economical structures endured with safety concern. Since
many decades, successful infrastructure has been stepped up
with a main component concrete. Concrete being the heart of
evolving infrastructure, many studies and researches has
been progressing in order to accompany with best
economical concrete powered with high strength. Emerging
heat of hydration process has resulted in global warming
emission of carbon-di-oxide ( ). The concrete industry is
one of two large producers of carbon-di-oxide, creating up to
5% of worldwide man-made emissions of this gas, of which
50% is from the chemical process and 40% is from burning
of fuel. The carbon-di-oxide produced for the manufacture of
one ton of structural concrete (using 14% cement) is
estimated at 410 kg/ . The emission from concrete
production is directly proportional to the cement content
used in the concrete mix, 900 kg of are emitted for the
fabrication of every ton of cement, accounting for 88% of the
emissions associated with the average concrete mix. Cement
manufacture contributes greenhouse gases both directly
through the production of carbon-di-oxide when calcium
carbonate is thermally decomposed, producing lime and
carbon-di-oxide, and also through the use of energy,
particularly from the combustion of fossil fuels.
Employing by-products in concrete would create a
greater impact with respect to cost. Conventional usage of
materials in all time demand industries would create greater
opportunity towards economy. The main motive of our
project is to design a concrete that possess high strength,
safety, workability. Higher strength refers to the maximum
compressive strength derived at end of the curing. Safety
refers to the concrete which would not fail under heavy
loads unless the load exceeds by a given margin. Workability
means the concrete must enhance the execution process so
as to ensure both their structure life and comfort.
These above criteria can be achieved with help of a natural
product. Addition of polymer called lignin would help in
gaining strength in concrete. Biological by-product being a
conventional product from tissue of coir dusts, will be more
helpful in both economic and to environment. Studies and
certain researchers regarding employing of lignin in
concrete have suggested that lignin helps in reducing the
foot print of carbon.
2. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
Concrete has been used in a wide variety of
applications for many decades to provide shelter, facilitate
transportation, store water, to protect cities, to treat waste,
to express artistic values and so on. Various immense
structures were constructed with high architectural
importance. In 1872, Cleft Ridge Span Prospect Park
(Brooklyn), Cast-on-site elements were erected by stone
masons which implies that Concrete is treated as an artificial
stone. In1897, Glenfinnan Viaduct (Scotland) was
constructed with mass concrete having 21 spans and overall
length as 380m. In 1927, Ford Parkway Bridge
Minneapolis/St. Paul (USA), three main spans about 100 m
long was constructed justifying the aspect that Reinforced
concrete leads to slender structures. Bridges across the
Teesta River (Darjeeling) 1933, 1941 consists of Arch
bridges with 90 m span and 15 m rise, and 82 m span and 40
m rise, respectively which implies DzGeography and terrain do
not limit the use of concrete.dz
Mass produced concrete housing units were developed by
Thomas Alva Edison. Edison houses Union (New Jersey)
1908, Houses were cast in iron moulds within 6hours .Forms
was removed after 6days and the house was then ready for
finishing. Repetitive use of concrete is highly cost-effective.
Concrete can be tailored to have early strength. First
reinforced concrete skyscraper, 64 m high, with 16 stories
was established in Ingalls Building (Cincinnati) 1902. Until
that time no concrete building taller than two stories had
been constructed. Buffalo BillDam (Wyoming) 1910 serves
