In recent days, there is an intense need for an alternate cost effective and sustainable raw material for concrete which does not make the structure inferior in strength. An experimental study on the utilization of the waste plastic and M-sand in the place of river sand and aggregate partially was performed in paper. In the scenario of scarcity of river sand due to the territorial government action and restriction of usage because of the eco and environmental consideration, M-Sand is found to be an effective replacement and cost effective material. Concrete specimens were casted with combination of M-sand and plastic waste with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% and compared against control mix. Cube test for compressive strength study, cylinder test for split tensile strength study and prism test for flexural strength study were done with the proposed concert mixture. All the specimens and tests were done for different curing period of 7, 14 and 28 days. The results obtained from the proposed mix of concrete are compared with the conventional concrete mix specimen respectively. The replacement of fine aggregates reduces the quantity of river sand to be used in concrete and also plastic fibres are proved to be more economical. Positive performance of the concrete with waste plastic and M-Sand as partial replacement of river sand was observed on all the experiments and found optimal in sustainable and economical performance.


As construction in India and other developing countries are increasing, the consumption of energy and resources are also increasing in same alarming way. Due to urbanization many industries are developed and the industrial wastage is also increasing day by day which is a serious concern to the environment. Many industries produce various end products, which may be used in construction industry at various places. So we focused on some of the waste materials which can be replaced in conventional concrete, and by then cost of construction can be reduced and is economical, also damage caused to the environment can also be reduced, at the same time landfills can also be reduced. So, we focused on reducing the virgin materials in concrete like cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate by replacing them with some waste materials which have same properties of cement, fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. The objective of the present work is to find out the effectiveness of fly ash, quarry dust and crumb rubber by replacing them in varied percentages. Here, cement is replaced by fly ash with percentages as 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and quarry dust as fine aggregate with percentages of 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% along with crumb rubber as coarse aggregate with percentages as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%. The results in this study have shown a gradual reduction of compressive strength as we kept on adding the crumbed rubber. Even though the strength obtained for 5% usage of crumbed rubber was quite satisfactory.

This research focuses on a study of the strength of concrete with ceramic waste as coarse aggregate and quarry dust as fine aggregate. The sources of ceramic waste and quarry dust are obtained from the industrial in Malaysia. Presently, in ceramics industries the production goes as waste, which is not under going the recycle process yet. In this study an attempt has been made to find the suitability of the ceramic industrial wastes and quarry dust as a possible replacement for conventional crushed stone coarse and fine aggregate. Experiment were carried out to determine the strength of concrete with ceramic waste coarse aggregate and quarry dust fine aggregate to compare them with the conventional concrete made (with crushed stone coarse aggregate). From the results show that compressive strength of concrete with quarry dust as aggregates is the highest with 30.82 MPa with density 2251.85 kg/m3. This show, ceramic waste and quarry dust can be alternative aggregate for comparable properties.

In present condition to full-fill the demand of sustainable construction, concrete made with different materials is the best choice for the construction industry. Generally, we use materials which are required for conventional concrete and addition to those we replace the low-cost materials such as bottom ash in this project we replace the coal bottom ash & quarry dust to the fine aggregate by variable percentages. Coal bottom ash is the by-product of coal combustion. The rock detritus filled in the fishers of coal become separator from the coal during pulverization. In the furnace, carbon, other combustible matter burns, & the non-combustible matter result in coal ash. The coal ash collector from the electro static precipitators is called fly ash. coal bottom ash constitutes about 20% of coal ash and the result is fly ash. The perfect substitute for reverse sand is quarry dust it is the one of the ingredients in manufacture of concrete the crusher dust is known as quarry dust can be used as alternative material to the river sand. quarry dust possesses similar properties as that of river sand, hence accepted as a building material. The aggregate replaced with concrete in various percentages as both BA and QD (10%,20%&30%). All replacements where done to the m30 grade of concrete. the concrete has been replaced by coal bottom ash accordingly to the percentage, and fine aggregate has been replaced by quarry dust in percentage. concrete mixtures where produced, tested & compared in terms of compressive strength, tensile, flexural strength are evaluated. The curing of cubes, cylinders, & beams is 7days 28days & 90days.

The objective of this study is to identify the possibilities of utilizing the quarry dust in concrete to obtain an improved strength and durability properties of concrete. In the present study, the addition of quarry dust as alternative for natural sand has been investigated, and the durability properties of concrete were evaluated systematically by means of cracked water permeability and rapid chloride permeability tests. The permeability of concrete was assessed with initial stress applied to the concrete specimen and later checked for water permeability. Concrete mixes were casted using ordinary river sand and compared with 100% quarry dust substituted concrete. The addition of quarry dust significantly improved the concrete matrix properties in terms of strength and permeability resistance. The addition of fine quarry dust in concrete resulted in improved matrix densification compared to conventional concrete. Matrix densification has been studied qualitatively through petrographical examination using digital optical microscopy.

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.
