Abstract
To study the suitability of Quarry dust as sand replacing
material and it has been found that Quarry dust improves the
strength of concrete as well as elastic modulus. To reduce
the impact of the quarry dust on environment and human,
this waste can be used to produce new products or can be
used as admixture in concrete so that the natural resources
are used efficiently and hence environmental waste can be
reduced. Partial replacement of quarry dust in concrete to
increasing the shrinkage problem. Thus the problem is
reduced by adding of fibres in concrete. We are using
natural fibres because these fibres are easily available. The
addition of small closely spaced and uniformly dispersed
fibres will improve the overall structural performance of the
concrete.
Coconut fibre
Coconut fibre is obtained from the husk of the
fruit of the coconut palm. The fibres are subtracted from the
husk with beating and washing. The fibres are strong, light
and easily withstand heat and salt water. After nine months
of growth, the nuts are still green and contain white fibre,
which can be used for the production of yarn, rope and
fishing nets. After twelve months of growth, the fibres are
brown and can be used for brushes and mattresses. The
combined use of coconut and sisal short fibres seem to
delayed restrained plastic shrinkage controlling crack
development at early ages.

INTRODUCTION
2. MATERIALS
Quarry dust
Quarry dust (QD) is one of the waste materials
abundantly available and unused in a quarry industry.
Previous finding showed that the substitution of QD as part
of pozzolana gives good performance at fresh stated
rheological properties and enhances compressive strength at
hardened state. It is economical alternative to the river sand.

3.3 Flexural Strength Test
The flexural strength of concrete prism was
determined based on IS: 516 1959. Place the specimen in
the machine in such a manner that the load is applied to the
upper most surface as cast in the mould along two lines
spaced 13.3cm a part. Apply load without shock and
increase continuously at a rate of 180 kg/min and it is
increased until the sample fails. Measure the distance
between the line of fracture and nearest support.

From the Fig 5.3 shows the flexural strength increased for
20% dust content and 2% fibre. The result shows fibre
increased flexural strength. The dust content increased
30% compressive, split tensile as well as flexural strength
to be decreased.
