Suitability of Stone Dust in Concrete

  Brajesh Kumar Suman

Presently fast growing construction industries require huge amount of building materials. Concrete is one of them which cover large portion of construction materials segment and contains cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, water and admixtures if needed. The contribution of coarse aggregate and fine aggregate in concrete is nearly 80 percent of total mass. For fulfillment of the above demand over exploitation of mines and rock is imperative .In crusher plant huge amount of stone dust is generated which is thrown in land fill abundance as waste. This waste in certain fraction may be used in concrete making as partial replacement of fine aggregate. Present study taken in view to check the suitability of stone dust in concrete as partial replacement of conventional fine aggregate (natural sand). To accomplish this specimen were cast for different replacement level. Results show that at all the replacement level compressive strength is more than that of referral concrete.

Keywords- Compressive Strength, Density, Workability, Stone Dust Replacement.
