We are investigating the potential of using quarry waste and its effect on the strength and workability of concrete. This paper reports the experimental study which investigated the partial replacement of sand with quarry dust. Initially cement concrete cube was studied with various proportions of cement concrete + quarry dust (M 20, AND M25).

Abstract. Plastic brick is the form of brick manufactured from the combination of non-recyclable waste plastic with other constituents (sand, aggregate, cement, water, stone dust, fly ash, etc ...

By the experimental investigation, 40% replacement of sand with Quarry dust shows maximum compressive strength and later on, it will decrease after increasing percentage of Quarry Dust in the sand.

To have better utilization of this fly ash as per Nation's policy on fly ash, trial have been made for making of bricks using fly ash, lime, gypsum and sand or quarry dust.

Dolomite is a sedimentary rock resulting from the deposition of river or sea takes millions of years. The quarry waste from dolomite production had been used to replace sand in order to study the performance of modified brick sand. The objectives of this research are to determine the density, water absorption rate, and compressive …

Also, the replacement of fly ash for cement in the masonry blocks significantly reduced the total cost, embodied energy and CO 2 emission. It can be inferred from the study that using quarry waste as a full river sand substitute and fly ash as a partial cement substitute in masonry blocks is a cost-effective and sustainable method.

This paper investigates the physical and mechanical properties of compressed brick containing quarry dust as a replacement of sand in the brick's materials.

The current study investigates the potential for reusing the M-sand residue by using it as a partial replacement material in fly ash bricks. Due to limited availability of natural resources and rapid urbanization, there is a shortfall of conventional building construction materials.

Hollow sand cement block with quarry dust as sand replacement is an important addition to the types of masonry units available to the builder. Therefore this paper reports the investigation made on the column constructed using hollow quarry dust cement block (QUCB). The emphasis is given to study the crack patterns developed in the columns, …

The result shows that 10% is the maximum replacement of sand with kenaf core to produced brick that using 50% of quarry dust. The compressive strength value of the 10% of kenaf core at 28 days is 8.16 N/mm2 while for density is 1830 kg/m3 at 28 days.

An Experimental Study on Effect of Replacing Natural Sand by Quarry Dust and Saw Dust on Properties of Concrete. ... Concrete produced using quarry fines shows improvement in higher flexural ...

The current study examined the viability of using three specific forms of C&D waste derived from masonry structures as substitutes for river sand in cement mortar production.

B.Rai et al [27] evaluated cement mortar containing quarry rock dust of more than 150 µm size as sand replacement and revealed that 20% quarry rock dust exhibited excellent performance due to its micro-filling effect.

physical and mechanical properties of compressed brick containing quarry dust as a replacement of sand in the brick's materials. The compressed brick specimens were mixed with quarry dust in ...

This paper investigatesthe suitability of quarry dust as replacement (10% to) to natural aggregate in concrete masonry blocks.Successful replacement of 30 % can be suggested for load-bearing ...

The quarry dust is known to be able to replace natural sand. However, a combination of quarry dust and kenaf core where it is a waste to both industries and used as the construction material might become the solution to overcome the disadvantage of natural sand [ 4 ].

Hardwoods usually produce more dust than softwoods, and the bark and leaves generally produce more wood dust than the inner wood parts of the tree. On average, the wood sawing results in 5–10% dust. Currently, the blocks of limestone are extracted via chain saw, diamond wire and diamond saws from quarries and then the …

However, the study on quarry dust as fine aggregate replacement for river sand in masonry block production is still limited. Therefore, this study was aimed at understanding the effect of the quarry dust on the compressive strength durability characteristics of masonry blocks.

This study aimed to investigate the suitability of using crushed brick in concrete. Crushed brick originated from demolished masonry was crushed in the laboratory and added partial sand ...

The paper reports results of study on standard masonry mortar containing sand and sawdust as aggregates in a mix proportion of 1:3 and water-cement ratio of 0.55.

This paper reports the findings of an investigation done on bricks made using fly ash (FA), quarry dust (QD), and billet scale (BS) by non conventional method. The procedure for producing the bricks includes mixing the constituents along with cement and water, and then forming the bricks within moulds without applying pressure over them. …

In the present study, the quarry dust replacement levels of 0, 33, 66, and 100 % of river sand are used for cement block production.

These alternative aggregates can be used in concrete production as they are economical and naturally available. This paper is part of a study investigating the structural characteristics of concrete using various …

Stone dust, also known as rock dust or quarry dust, is a byproduct of crushing rocks during quarrying activities. It consists of finely crushed particles, often resembling sand but with distinct properties. Stone dust is a versatile material widely used in various construction applications.
