Optimum utilization of quarry dust as partial replacement of sand in green concrete

The reduction in the source of natural sand and the requirement for reduction in the cost of concrete production has resulted poor quality sand sources supplied and thus increased need to identify substitute material to sand as fine aggregates in the production especially in concrete. To overcome fr...

To overcome from this crisis, partial replacement of sand with quarry dust can be economical alternative.

Tests were conducted on cubes to determine the properties and strength of concrete made of quarry dust and the results were compared with natural sand concrete.
