The concept of replacement of natural fine aggregate by quarry dust which is highlighted in the study could boost the consumption of quarry dust generated from quarries. By replacement of quarry dust, the requirement of land fill area can be reduced and can also solve the problem of natural sand scarcity. The availability of sand at low cost as a fine aggregate in concrete is not suitable and that is the reason to search for an alternative material. Quarry dust satisfies the reason behind the alternative material as a substitute for sand at very low cost. It even causes burden to dump the crusher dust at one place which causes environmental pollution. From the results of experimental investigations conducted, it is concluded that the quarry dust can be used as a replacement for fine aggregate. It is found that 40% replacement of fine aggregate by quarry dust gives maximum result in strength than normal concrete and then decreases from 50%. The compressive strength is quantified for varying percentage and grades of concrete by replacement of sand with quarry dust.

Demand for natural sand in concrete is increasing day by day since the available sand cannot meet the rising demand of construction sector. This paper reports the experimental study undertaken to investigate the influence of partial replacement of cement with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag(GGBFS) in concrete containing quarry dust as fine aggregate. The cement was replaced by 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% of GGBFS and tests were conducted to determine the optimum level of replacement of GGBFS in quarry dust concrete. The specimens were subjected to compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and bond strength tests at 7days, 28days, 56days, 90days and 150 days. The resistance to corrosion is evaluated based on the performance of the concrete for the penetration of chloride ions by means of impressed voltage technique in saline medium and Gravimetric weight loss method. Results herein reveal that an increase in slag proportion increases the strength properties and decreases the rate and amount of corrosion of reinforcement and among the various percentages of replacement 40% is found to be optimum with better strength and corrosion resistance properties.

Concrete plays important role in the construction of structures. The need for concrete increases day by day. Material required for concrete are getting depleted, so there is a requirement to find alternatives. At the same time the alternative materials should posses the property of the actual materials used in concrete and also they must provide the required strength to the concrete. Normally Concrete is firm in compression but anemic in tension and shear. The purpose of this study is to find the behaviour of concrete reinforced with hybrid macro fibers. By adding Glass fibers in percentages like 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%& 0.8% to the concrete, the properties like compressive, flexural and split tensile strength are investigated. The optimum percentage of glass fiber was found to be 0.4%. Quarry dust has been widely used in structures since ancient times. The present study is aimed at utilizing waste Quarry dust (WQD) in construction industry itself as fine aggregate in concrete, replacing natural sand and also by adding the optimum percentage of glass fibers. The replacement is done partially and fully in the various proportions like 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% and its effect on properties of concrete were investigated. The optimum percentage of the concrete by adding 0.4% of glass fiber and the proportions was found to be 25%.

Quarry Dust

Abstract In construction industry nowadays, self-compacting concrete (SCC) is a concrete technology innovation which gives more benefits over conventional concrete. SCC was invented to improve concrete durability without using any vibrator while placing it into formwork. In order to conserve natural sand, quarry dust (QD) as a waste and sustainable material has been incorporated to replace fine aggregate in SCC. In this study, conventional concrete and quarry dust in self-compacting concrete (QDSCC) mixes consist of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% QD were prepared. The workability test was conducted to determine the performance of fresh concrete and ensuring all the QDSCC properties follow the acceptance criteria for SCC. Meanwhile, the hardened concrete specimens were water cured for 7, 28 and 60 days to conduct water absorption test. This research aim is to determine water absorption of incorporating sustainable QDSCC. Thus, it resulted that 50% of QDSCC has achieved the lowest water absorption of QDSCC as compared to other dosages. Finally, sustainability in concrete technology can be promoted by incorporating QDSCC.

Abstract Quarry dust is considered as a possible source of natural sand or fine aggregate in concrete construction work. This could reduce the problem of dumping of quarry dust as a byproduct from stone crusher factory. The experimental work investigates the optimum quarry dust percentage which can be adopted as replacement of fine aggregate in concrete mainly for rigid pavement. The quarry dust is added at different percentages of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100% replacement of fine aggregate for M35 grade concrete thereby to find out the optimum content of quarry dust that can give better strength in concrete. Mix design has been developed for M35 grade of concrete as per IRC 044 – 2017(Mix Design for Concrete Pavement) and mix design ratio is found as 1: 1.6: 2.62 by using Sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde (SNF) as an admixture at 1%, and 2%. The required water cement ratio was obtained as 0.39 according to table no.9 of IRC 044 for the target strength of 42.5 N/mm2. Optimum strength and workability test values of concrete made up for various proportions of quarry dust along with SNF are compared with conventional concrete of natural fine aggregate after 7 days and 28 days curing. It is found that the strength increased with the increase in curing time and the maximum strength at 28 days curing and 60% quarry dust replacement with 2% addition of SNF. The maximum strength of quarry replaced concrete is obtained as 40.3MPa, 5.6MPa, and 5.1MPa for compressive, flexural, and split tensile respectively.

Abstract The diminution of the natural sources in the form of dredging the riverbanks and blasting the mountain ranges has always dented the balance of the eco system which in turn results in disasters as well at times. This alarming situation accelerates the global warming, threatens the biota life in riverbanks, diminishes the ground water level, harms the aquatic life and affects the growth of agriculture. This study is an attempt to synthesis fine aggregates from the industrial byproducts such as fly ash and GGBS through the process of geopolymerization which enables the formation of aluminosilicate networks upon the addition of the alkaline activator solution (Na 2 SiO 3 + NaOH) into the byproducts which is then allowed for oven drying as well as air drying to accelerate the process. The Fly ash geopolymerized fine aggregate(F-GFA) and the GGBS geopolymerized fine aggregate(G-GFA) were noted to exhibit adequate physiochemical and mechanical properties in par with the natural sand. The production of GFA is considered as eco friendly process since it ceases the extensive usage of river sand and incorporates the effective usage of Industrial by products (Fly ash and GGBS) thereby minimizing the land pollution and its consequent harmful hazards. Though the F-GFA and G-GFA showcased higher water absorption ratio than the natural sand, owing to the unreacted fly ash and GGBS particles. Nevertheless, the same initiated the adequate compressive strength attainment up to 90% of natural sand, by reacting with the lime expelled out of the hydration process of cement in the mortar specimens developed in this experimental study. The microstructure of the samples was further examined through Optical microscope, Scanning Electron microscope (SEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis in order to corroborate the experimental results of this study. The results thus obtained, strongly recommend the potential of the F-GFA and G-GFA as an ideal replacement material for natural sand.

Quarry Dust

The role of quarry dust in the construction of building and other structures to eliminate the demand of nature sand by using quarry waste to replace the use of natural sand. We are investigating the potential of using quarry waste and its effect on the strength and workability of concrete. Initially cement concrete cube was studied with various proportion of cement concrete +quarry dust (M20 & M25). The experimental result showed that the additional of quarry dust as fine aggregate ratio of 30%, 40% and 50% was found to enhance the compressive properties. The compressive strength of concrete cubes at the age of 7 and 28 days were obtained at room temperature. These raw materials of concrete, i.e., river sand and gravel, are also struggling to cope with the rapidly growing demand in many areas around the globe. The sources of good quality river sand and gravel are depleting very fast. According to United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) report, “Sand-rarer than one thinks”, published in March2014, sand and gravel has now become the most widely used natural resource on the planet after water. These are now being extracted at a rate far greater than their renewal. Crushed sands, fine aggregate produced from stone crushing, has become very popular in areas where natural sand is not abundantly available or where there is scarcity in the supply of natural sand. The Mumbai-Pune express highway was a project, where there is a difficulty in procurement of natural sand. This made the construction company to use crushed sand for making approximately 20 lakh cum of concrete necessary for the construction. However, such type of sands contains a large amount of micro-fines, i.e., particles finer than 75 microns, which can have an adverse effect on properties of concrete. So proportioning of different raw materials at the time of mix design is very important, when crushed sand is used in concrete The availability of sand at low cost as a fine aggregate in concrete is not suitable and that is the reason to search for an alternative material. Quarry dust satisfies the reason behind the alternative material as a substitute for sand at very low costIt is found that 40% replacement of fine aggregate by quarry dust gives maximum result in strength than normal concrete and then decreases from 50%. The compressive strength is quantified for varying percentage and grades of concrete by replacement of sand with quarry dust.
