Sand was replaced with Quarry dust by weight at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and l 00%. The slump value obtained from the control mix of the washed sample was 110 mm while sand replaced by quarry dust at 25 %, 50%, 75%, and 100% were 87 mm, 78 mm, 55 mm and 48 mm respectively and also the slump value obtained from the contro.1 mix of the unwashed sample
investigated the partial replacement of sand with quarry dust. Initially cement concrete cube was studied with various proportions of cement concrete + quarry dust (M 20, AND M25). The experimental results showed that the addition of quarry dust as fine aggregate ratio of 30%, 40% and 50% was found to enhance the compressive properties.
Crusher dust (quarry waste) is by product of stone crushers while producing coarse aggregate. Instead of disposing them in landfills, it can be best utilized as partial replacement to sand. In crusher dust, the particles (% finer than 150 microns) are generally high, a major concern limiting its percentage replacement to minimum with sand in a
The replacement of natural fine aggregate by using quarry dust leads to consumption of generated quarry dust, the requirement of land fill area can be reduced and solves the natural sand scarcity problem. The sand availability as a fine aggregate at low cost which needs the reason to search as a alternative material.
the replacement of sand by Quarry dust. This study could help in boosting the less consumption of sand and hence preserving the natural fine aggregate. Use of Quarry dust as fine aggregate in concrete may also leads to the solution of land filling issue by quarry dust and natural sand scarcity.
5) QUARRY DUST: The quarry dust is the by-product which is formed in the processing of the granite stones which broken downs into the coarse aggregates of different sizes. The physical and chemical properties are listed in Table 1 and Table 2 Table 1: Physical Properties of Quarry dust Property Natural Sand Quarry Dust Test Methods
replacement of sand with quarry dust and cement with mineral admixtures on the compressive strength of concrete (Gambhir, 1995), whereas Celik and Marar[10] investigated the effect of partial replacement of fine aggregate with crushed stone dust at different percentages in the properties of fresh and hardened concrete . It is worthy to consider
replacement of sand with quarry dust in the 50%
Answer (1 of 9): Yes As quarry dust(also called as crushed sand) is a byproduct obtained after crushing of stones(rocks) to make aggregates. * Results have shown that
partial replacement of sand by Quarry dust by 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%. The compressive strength of concrete cubes are obtained after 7 and 28 days of curing. This experimental study shows that the concrete made with quarry dust might not be as workable as normal concrete but it gives higher strength than the conventional concrete.
2. Saves Cost. Construction Projects that use quarry dust have proven to be cheaper than those that depend wholly on sand. The dust come at cheaper cost and lesser pressure on market demand for sand. Partial replacement of sand with this dust will make good concrete that is well desired in residential construction.
Quarry dust has rough, sharp and angular particles, and as such causes a gain in strength due to better interlocking. Quarry dust has been identified as possible replacement for sharp sand in concrete works. Jayawardena and Dissanayake [4, 5] in their paper “Use of quarry dust instead of river sand for future
concrete with 50% replacement of river sand by quarry dust is 31.31 Mpa. Technologies Review, The maximum flexural strength is also at 40% replacement of river sand by quarry dust. . When compared with the concrete beam with only river sand, the flexural strength of conventional concrete is 3.1 Mpa while the
Quarry dust can be partially used as an alternative to river sand, as fine aggregate in concrete production. It is basically a by-product of stone crushers produced during the crushing and screening process of coarse aggregates. The replacement of river sand with quarry dust enhances the compressive strength of the concrete to a limited extent.
clear picture that quarry dust can be utilized in concrete mixtures as a good substitute for natural river sand giving higher strength at 50% replacement. Index Terms- Concrete, quarry dust, river sand, compressive strength. I. INTRODUCTION oncrete is the most widely used composite material today.
river sand. Quarry dust and Marble powder contains similar properties as that of river sand and hence accepted as a building material. The present paper focuses on investigating maximum percentage replacement of river sand by Quarry dust and Marble powder in varying equal percentages 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% for M25 mix designations.
replacement of sand with quarry dust. The increase in dust content up to 30% increases compressive strength of concrete, if the dust content is more than 30% the compressive strength decreases gradually. But the compressive strength of quarry dust concrete continues to increase with age for all the percentage of quarry dust contents. Ilangovan
Usage of quarry dust it will also reduce the cost of concrete because it is a waste material from quarry. Dust in concrete will also reduce the disposal problem.
