Experimental Analysis on Properties of Concrete with Partial Replacement of Cement with Stone Dust
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Due to the auspicious attribute of concrete such as durability, availability, versatility, good compressive strength, it is one of the most commonly used Building materials throughout the world. The demand for infrastructural facilities is increasing day by day which creates a tremendous pressure on concrete as well as on natural aggregates. Apparently it becomes unavoidable to look for alternative materials. On the other hand, disposal of stone dust generated from stone crusher is becoming a problem. Substituting cement by stone dust will serve the waste management as well as the alternative material in concrete. Here in the the present study stone dust is used for partial replacement of cement in concrete by studying the strength property of concrete. The aim of this experiment is to find the maximum content of stone dust by partial replacement of cement. The percentage of stone dust by partial replacement of cement in concrete are (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20%) was studied; on M20 grade of concrete. The result of this present investigation indicates that the replacement of 10% of cement with waste stone powder attains maximum compressive, flexural and tensile strength. The optimum percentage for replacement of stone powder with cement and it is almost 10%cement for both cubes beam and cylinders and it also minimize the costs for construction with usage of stone powder which is freely or cheaply available more importantly.
