Abstract

The paper represents the study of the flexural strength of concrete with different aggregate which are compare with conventional concrete. Flexural strength of plain cement concrete for the various combinations studied for the four proportions. From the study it observed that, in case of flexural strength of plain cement concrete for Cement, Artificial sand, Stone crushed aggregate (CAS), Cement, Natural sand, Recycled aggregate (CNR), Cement, Artificial sand-Recycled aggregate (CAR) reduced by 4.65%, 13.56% & 14.15% respectively in comparison with Cement, Natural sand, Stone crushed aggregate (CNS). It's observed that there is consistent decrease in the flexural strength of plain cement concrete of CAS, CNR & CAR compare with CNS.
