PERFORMANCE OF CONCRETE WITH WASTE GRANITE POWDER
Journal Title: International Journal of Civil Engineering and Technology - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Granite dust is a waste material which produces during crushing and grinding process of granite stone. Owing to increase the construction activities for different regions and utilities scaring of natural resources is being forced due to its over exploitation. Granite dust is such an alternative material which can be effectively being used as replacement of natural sand. In this paper, Fine aggregate is replaced partially by granite powder in the proportion of 20%, 25% &30% by weight. The research highlights the compressive strength behavior of concrete cubes containing granite dust associated with variable mixtures. The result revealed that the M25 grade is a good quality option because of its high compressive strength associated with reasonable amount of fine aggregates and granite dust ratio. Proper utilization of granite dust would not just save the large amount of construction cost, but additionally would open a new window for the economic sector of the mines and also reduces environmental pollution.
