  • Abstract:
  • Globally, infrastructure is being developed with significant help from concrete. Fine aggregate is the key component of concrete. The goal of research is to substitute the fine aggregate (River Sand) with quarry dust given the rising cost of river sand. The replacement of river sand in concrete with quarry dust at intervals of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% for M30 grade concrete cubes of size 150mm x 150mm x 150mm for compressive strength test and for concrete cylinders specimen of size 150mm x 300mm for split tensile strength test at 7, 14 and 28 days are prepared and tested in this investigation. This study shows that quarry dust could partially replace natural sand in concrete.
