ABSTRACT With the advancements in technology and industrialization, high rise buildings have become very common now-a-days. These buildings need to be designed for different loads. In these loads one has to consider loads such live, seismic, dead and wind. The wind and live load depend solely on occupancy, geometry and geography of the structure and hence can’t be altered much while dead and seismic loads can be. The major part of the dead load and seismic forces is due to account of weight of structure members itself. Nonstructural members like walls have no load carrying role to play. They just increase the structure weight and the seismic load acting on the structure which in turn increases the cost of the building. Usually brick masonry is used for wall component and problem in using masonry bricks as partition walls is that their manufacturing is done by soil summit stratum which requires years to build up and is very fertile. Using this soil for bricks is very harsh for the plants and vegetation in that region. Hollow concrete blocks are one possible solution to this problem. Hollow concrete blocks as their name suggests are blocks made up of concrete and are hollow from inside. These blocks not only have reduced self-weights but also have improved properties such as better insulation, better sound proofing, easier to lay out etc. KEYWORDS: West Management, Cement, sand, Aggregate, Kota Stone, water Admixture and Compressive Strength etc. I. INTRODUCTION 1.1 GENERAL A home is very ultimate requirement of human to harbor in the earth environment. It keeps humans safe from environmental factors along with the safety. Humans used to live in caves or bamboo shelters in past times, there were no significant mental development regarding safety and economy in that time, over the time and generations humans develops shelter meaning and started considering the aspects of money and safety. Structures consist of structural elements, the partition walls are not among the structural elements but these are used to create the partition and making space usable as per the requirements. These walls also have some extra function like acoustic and heat insulation. The overall dead load of structures can be increased by use of these walls. The partition walls are manufactured by using the summit soil stratum. The top layer or summit stratum soil takes plural years to be built up and it is found to be very fertile. Brick made from such soil are used in traditional walls and it adds on much dead load. The count of dead load of such walls can be 20 KN/m 2 or higher. And the load bearing structure members have to bear add on load due to these. HCB or hollow concrete blocks are the now-a-days technology in this area. These are manufactured of concrete and produced in the industries. These blocks are of lesser weight since these are hollow and so they do not add on much dead load on structures. These blocks require less mortar during placing phase and other than this advantage these are more efficient in acoustic manner and heat insulation. The basic ingredients of these HCB viz. fine aggregates, coarse aggregates and binding material can be replaced by Kota stone wastes which are generated in a huge amount in industries in which they are used. The present reserve of dimensional stones in Rajasthan including Marbles, ceranites, sand stones and slates mount as high as 5000 million tonnes.
