An Experimental Study on Strength Properties of Concrete By Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate with Quartz Sand
Journal Title: International Journal of Civil, Structural, Environmental and Infrastructure Engineering Research and Development (IJCSEIERD) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 3
Abstract
In civil engineering construction concrete plays a major role. The ingredients in concrete are cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates and water. Due to the scarcity of river sand which is used as fine aggregate in concrete, is being replaced by the products of metamorphic rocks such as quartz sand. It occurs in most igneous and practically all metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. It is highly resistant to both mechanical and chemical weathering. The primary aim of this project is to compare the strength properties of M25 grade concrete by partial replacement of fine aggregate with quartz sand. In order to find the strength of concrete, destructive tests (compressive strength and split tensile strength) and non-destructive test (rebound hammer test) are conducted.
