STONEDUST USED AS ALTERNATIVE FOR SAND IN CONCRETE

INTRODUCTION Concrete is a stone like material obtained by designing a carefully proportioned mixture of cement, sand and gravel or other aggregates and water to harden in forms of the shape and dimensions of the desired structure

A huge amount of Dust produced during stone crushing. They are often considered as a waste in the locality. They are not given any interest and thrown here and there. Sometime these stone powders are used for land filling and hence the Lands are losing their fertility to produce crops. The main objective of the study is the evaluate relative performance of the concrete made by normal sand and stone dust where the coarse aggregate is crushed stone, in the same way the test is performed using Brick chip as a Coarse aggregate. This study ensures the stone powder or as an appropriate alternative of sand (fine aggregate) in concrete manufacturing as a building materials

The compressive strength of concrete from powder sand and crushed stone showed a value of 30.62Mpa, a 14.76% higher value from that of normal sand. Using the other mixing ratios stone dust generates higher compressive Strength.

Green concrete capable for sustain development Is characterised by application of industrial Waste helps to reduce consumption of natural resources and energy and pollution of environment. Marble sludge powder can be used as filler to reduce total voids content in concrete . Natural sand in many parts of country is not graded properly and has excessive silt on other hand quarry rock dust does not contain silt or organic impurities and can be produced to meet desired gradation and fineness as per reqirement

This contributes to improve strength of concrete Through reactin with concrete admixture.marble sludge powder and quarry rock dust improves puzzalonic reaction ,microaggregate filling,and concrete durability.

It is found that the compressive,split tensile strength and durability studies of concrete made of quarry rock dust are nearly 14%more than the conventional concrete.

And also the concrete resistance to sulphate attack was enhanced greately. Application of green concrete is an effictive way to reduce environment pollution and improve durability of concreteunder severe conditions.

CONCLUSIONS Green concrete induce higher workability and it satisify the self compacting concrete performance which is slump flow is 657mm without effecting the strngth of concrete ,slump flow increases with increase of marble powder content. Permeabillity of green concrete is less than conventional concrete. Durability of green concrete under sulphate is higher than the conventinal concrete. Water absorption of green concrete is higer.
