Quarry Dust

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.

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.

This research uses stone ash waste from the stone crusher industry to preserve the environment. This material is an ingredient in making normal concrete. The use of stone ash as a substitute for sand is expected to increase the compressive strength in the planned slump and can optimize the use of rock ash waste to reduce environmental pollution that occurs. This study uses an experimental method with a total of 32 pieces of specimens. Each variation consists of 3 samples with a variety of fine aggregate levels of 40%, 44%, and 46%. The test object is a concrete cylinder with a diameter of 15 cm and a height of 30 cm. Test results for compressive strength at seven days for fine aggregate content variations of 40%: 22.25 Mpa; 44%: 24.30 Mpa; 46%: 17.08 MPa. Test results of compressive strength at the age of 14 days for variations in fine aggregate levels of 40%: 26.10 Mpa; 44%: 28.51 Mpa; 46%: 20.04 Mpa. Test results of compressive strength at the age of 21 days for fine aggregate content variations of 40%: 28.18 Mpa; 44%: 30.78 Mpa; 46%: 21.63 MPa. With these results, the Porous concrete produced can be used as preservation and maintain environmental protection. This product very cheap when compared to the original concrete, which calculated 22 U$ per square. The use of porous concrete has an impact on people's behavior that will preserve the environment, especially water content in the soil.

Sand cement brick among favorable building material for low cost house construction due to its low price. Technology development in building material already explored varies waste to be added in improving properties of building materials. Beside that addition of bacteria in building material also proven in literature to improve its properties. In this research addition of bacteria in the cement sand block containing quarry dust (SCBQD) was studied. Several properties namely, compressive strength, depth of carbonation, initial rate of suction (IRS) and water absorption were studied. SCBQD is made from sand, cement, quarry dust and chipping using industrial mix design. In this study, 3% of Enterococcus faecalis (EF) and 5% of Bacillus sp (BSP) bacteria was added in the SCBQD mixes. Three SCBQD mixes were prepared including the control mix without bacteria, SCBQD with 3% EF and SCBQD with 5% BSP. Natural fine aggregate was replaced partially with the quarry dust. 100 mm SCBQD cubes were used to conduct compressive strength, depth of carbonation, initial rate of suction and water absorption test at 7, 14 and 28 days. The experimental results showed that the compressive strength value of SCBQD with addition of bacteria was increased for all curing ages. At 28 days of curing, the compressive strength value for control SCBQD containing quarry without any addition of bacteria is 3.30 MPa, while SCBQD containing quarry dust with addition of 3% of EF bacteria is 3.57 MPa and for SCBQD with 5% of BSP bacteria the value is 4.90 MPa. On the other hand, SCBQD containing 3% EF and 5% BSP gained lower IRS and carbonation depth. Depth of carbonation at 28 days was decreased 9.3% and 20% for SCBQD containing 3% EF and 5% BSP, respectively. Meanwhile, 28-day IRS was reduced 12.9% and 22.6% for SCBQD containing 3% EF and 5% BSP, respectively. In overall, the result shows that, SCBQD with 5% BSP as proven positive and better results when compared to control SCBQD and SCBQD with 3% EF bacteria which is absorb of 12.02% in water absorption. The findings showed that bio-SCBQD containing industrial waste and bacteria has good potential to be used as building material.

Initial Idea

Title: The Effect of Using Mediteran Soil as Cement Substitution Materials in Compressive Strength and Tensile Strength of Concrete Concrete is a composite material (mixture) of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water. The potential of limestone in Indonesia is very large, reaching 28.678 billion tons which is the main ingredient in the cement manufacture. In the long run it will be depleted because it is a non-renewable natural resources. So to reduce the use of limestone the utilization of Mediteran soil as a substitution for some cement in the manufacture of concrete is required. The initial idea is based on the chemical composition contained in the Mediteran soil almost identical to the cement, which is carbonate (CaO) and silica (SiO2). The purpose of this research is to reveal the influence of substitution of Mediteran soil by 20% and 40% in the compressive strength and tensile of the concrete at age 3, 7, 14, and 28 days with the number of test specimen each 3 pieces on each variation in 10cm x20cm cylinder with planning of concrete mixture refers to SK SNI method T-15-1900-03. The type of research used is quantitative with the experimental method of laboratory test and data analysis of comparative method and regression. The results show that compressive strength and tensile strength of concrete using Mediteran soil substitution comparable to  the strength of normal concrete with dry treatment. In the composition of 20% Mediteran soils decreased by 51.35% or 7.9 MPa (compressive strength) and 30.60% or 0.93 MPa (tensile strength). While the composition of 40% Mediteran soil decreased by 43.78% or 9.13 MPa (compressive strength) and 2.24% or 1.31 MPa (tensile strength).

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.

ABSTRAKSalah satu limbah yang dapat digunakan sebagai pengganti bahan pembuat beton adalah abu batu. Abu batu merupakan limbah dari proses pemecahan bongkahan batu. Ditinjau dari ukuran butirannya maka abu batu merupakan agregat halus. Abu batu memiliki penyerapan air yang lebih tinggi daripada pasir alami, maka dari itu untuk mendapatkan kelecakan campuran beton yang sama dengan kelecakan campuran beton menggunakan pasir alami, penggunaan abu batu sebagai agregat halus dalam campuran beton perlu tambahan air. Namun hal ini akan menyebabkan faktor air-semen bertambah. Sehingga hasil kuat tekan akan menurun. Hal ini sesuai dengan hubungan antara kuat tekan beton dengan faktor air-semen. Perekayasaan yang dilakukan adalah dengan menaikkan faktor granular (G) dan menaikkan kuat tekan rencana berdasarlan teori Dreux. Abu batu pada penelitian ini digunakan sebagai substitusi pasir alami dengan proporsi 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, dan 100%. Hasil penelititan ini memperlihatkan penggunaan abu batu sebagai agregat halus lebih dari 40% akan sangat drastis menurunkan kuat tekan beton.Kata kunci: perekayasaan, substitusi, campuran beton, abu batu, agregat halus ABSTRACTOne of the wastes that can be used as a substitute for concrete materials is stone ash. Stone ash is a waste from the process of stone crusher. Consider from the size of the grain, stone ash as fine aggregate. Stone ash has a higher water absorption than natural sand, therefore to get the concrete workability that is the same as the concrete workability using natural sand, the use of stone ash as fine aggregate in the concrete mixture needs additional water. But this will cause the cement-water ratio to increase. So that the compressive strength will decrease. This is following the relationship between the compressive strength of concrete and the cement-water ratio. Engineering is done by increasing the granular factor (G) and increasing the compressive strength of the plan based on Dreux theory. Stone ash in this study was used as a substitute for natural sand with a proportion of 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, and 100%. The results of this research show that the use of stone ash as fine aggregate of more than 40% will greatly reduce the compressive strength of the concrete.Keywords: engineering, substitute, concrete mixture, stone ash, fine aggregate
