Abstract |
|
Sustainable construction is the need of our. Depletion of the virgin natural river sand is the main issue concerning the construction industry. And also industrial solid wastes like Quarry stone dust and foundry sand are generated abundantly, creates disposal problem due to the lack of landfill sites for these waste disposal. The purpose of the study is to replace the sand partially or fully by Quarry stone dust or Foundry sand in mortar as in future there will be depletion of sand. Hence, it is necessary to find inexpensive and easily available alternative material to Natural River Sand. |
