ABSTRACT - In such a situation the Quarry rock dust can be an economic alternative to the river sand. Quarry Rock
Dust can be defined as residue, tailing or other non-voluble waste material after the extraction and processing of
rocks to form fine particles less than 4.75mm. Usually, Quarry Rock Dust is used in large scale in the highways as a
surface finishing material and also used for manufacturing of hollow blocks and lightweight concrete prefabricated
Elements.
This paper presents the feasibility of the usage of Quarry Rock Dust as 100% substitutes for Natural Sand in
concrete. Mix design has been developed for M40 grade using design approach IS for both conventional concrete and
quarry dust concrete. Tests were conducted on cubes and beams to study the strength of concrete made of Quarry
Rock Dust and the results were compared with the Natural Sand Concrete. It is found that the compressive and
flexural strength of concrete made of Quarry Rock Dust are nearly 10% more than the conventional concrete. Tests
were also conducted on cubes and beams which are exposed to temperatures of 300°C for 1hr, 3hr durations
respectively.
The results show that at a dosage 1.3% of super plasticizer by weight of cement the concrete made of quarry stone
dust as fine aggregate attained low strengths when compared with other dosages (1% and 1.6%) in compression and
flexure.
