Abstract:
Because concrete is used everywhere, its manufacturing process has a significant influence on its health. In the current world, concrete is an essential building material due to urbanisation and industry. Concrete is now a necessary component of all projects. Civil engineers are under a lot of pressure to create structures that are both economical and environmentally friendly while yet meeting the needs of the expanding population. In this experiment, jarofix is used in place of fine aggregate in concrete, which is a heterogeneous mixture of water, fine, coarse, and binding ingredient (lime or cement). The current study successfully substitutes Jarofix, an industrial waste byproduct from the zinc manufacturing process, for fine aggregate in concrete. The study examined the compressive and split tensile strengths of concrete at substitution levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% for fine aggregate in Jarofix. Designing buildings and infrastructure with graphene concrete, mortar, and cement additives opens up new, possibly environmentally benign options.Concrete buildings made with these elements are stronger and more resilient. Increases in both compressive and tensile strength were seen in exterior testing when assessed using international standard standards. Research was done on the compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete when 0%, 0.05%, 0.10%, and 0.15% grafine oxide was substituted for cement. The tests took place over 28,56, and 90 days.

1. INTRODUCTION:
Concrete is becoming the most widely utilised and importantbuildingmaterialintheworldduetopopulation growth and industrialization. Concrete is important because it is designed to withstand the harshest environmentsandcanbemouldedintoanyshape.Without concrete, contemporary society and communities would not be feasible. Using industrial wastes as a substitute reduces construction costs and promotes the use of less natural raw materials in concrete. Furthermore, there is a
method for efficiently getting rid of garbage and minimising the problems that come with it.Jarofix is used inthisinquiryinlieuoffineaggregate.Inthecurrentstudy, Jarofix,anindustrialwastebyproductfromtheproduction of zinc, successfully replaces fine aggregate in concrete.New, potentially environmentally benign approachestobuildingandinfrastructuredesignaremade possible by the use of graphene concrete, mortar, and cement additives. Concrete buildings made with these elements are more resilient and sturdy. Extensive testing demonstrated gains in both compressive and tensile strength when assessed using international standard standards.
2. OBJECTIVES:
1. To maximise Jarofix's application in fine aggregate.
2. To utilise graphene oxide in cement as effectively as possible.
3. To evaluate the compressive and split tensile strengths oftheconcrete.
3. MATERIALS:
3.1 Cement: When water is added, cement becomes stickier and more cohesive. These cements are what we callhydrauliccements.Clay,silicatesmadefromlimestone, andlimealuminatesmakeupthemajorityofthese.
3.2 Fine Aggregate: The fine aggregate used in this investigation was manufactured sand, which was easily obtained locally and had the right grading required to produceconcrete.
3.3 Coarse Aggregate: In the current experiment, 20 mm coarse aggregate that complies with IS: 383-1970 is used. The pycnometer test is used to determine the specific gravityofaggregate.Afterthematerialwaspassedthrough a20mmsieveandkeptona4.75mmscreen,theaggregate finenessmoduluswasdeterminedusingsieveanalysis
3.4:Water: Water is one of the most essential building materials because it can be used for so many different

things, such making mortar, mixing cement, and curing work. The quality of the water used in construction has a directeffectonhowlongcementconcreteandmortarlast.
3.5 Jarofix: Jarofixisusedinplaceoffineaggregateinthis experiment.Thisiswherethejarofixutilisedforthestudy iscollected,anditisbroughttothelabinplasticbags.The material looks like fine, light brown powder with lumps that break up when you pulverise it between your fingertips. After being ground and allowed to air dry, the jarofix samples were sealed in plastic bags and stored at roomtemperatureinairtightcontainers.
3.6 Graphene oxide: At temperatures between 280 and 300°C, graphene oxiderapidly exfoliates and decomposes toproducefinelydispersedamorphouscarbon.
