Experimental Investigation on replacement of Sand by Quarry Dust in
Concrete

Abstract

Experimental Investigation on replacement of Sand by Quarry Dust in Concrete Now a days the utilization and consumption of natural aggregates and cement as largest concrete component is rapidly and constantly increasing in the production of concrete.

The developing countries like India, the infrastructure such as express highways, power projects, industrial structures, ports and harbors to meet the requirements of globalization in construction of buildings and other structures. River sand is one of the constituent used in the production of concrete, become expensive and also a scarce material.

Conclusion

According to the results and discussion the following conclusion is found:From following studies and results we found that the quarry dust as a fine aggregates relatively weaker as compared to river sand which is used in the study.The various properties of used Quarry dust such as aggregate crushing value, pH value, flakiness index and soundness gives the significant effects to the strength and durability of concrete. The concrete mix of dust as partial replaced to sand, results a reduction in the compressive strength
