Feasibility Study on Concrete Made with Substitution of Quarry Dust: A Review

Concrete mechanical properties could be improved through adding different materials at the mixing stage. Quarry dust (QD) is waste produced by manufactured sand machines and comprise approximately 30–40% of total quantity QD generated. When it dries, transforms into a fine that poses tremendous hazard to environment contaminating soil water seriously endangering human health. utilization in concrete one best options. Though lot scholars focus on imitation concrete, knowledge scattered, detailed review required. This collects information regarding QD-based including fresh properties, strength, durability, microstructure analysis. The results indicate suitable for certain extent, but higher percentages adversely affect due absence fluidity. also indicates up 40–50% substitution as aggregate can utilized with no harmful effects strength durability. Furthermore, although possesses cementitious used cement substitute some less research has explored this area.
