Comparative Study on Strength Characteristics of Concrete Using Marble Dust Powder and Quarry Dust as a Partial Replacement of Cement

Now a days, due to rapid development of Infrastructure in various Countries of world including India. The demand of Concrete structure is more. In order to fulfil this and also meet the necessity of concrete, the cement is replaced by Marble powder and Quarry dust. In my project the experimental investigation has been carried out in order to determine the strength characteristics of concrete with partial replacement of cement separately by two materials i.e.1) Marble powder 2) Quarry dust. A total of 54 cube of Size 150mmX150mmX150mm size and 27 cylinder of 150mm diameter & 300 mm height .The curing is done by immersing the specimen in the water tank for various days depend upon testing period. Compressive strength of cube is tested for CVC & various percentages of marble powder (5,10,15,20) and QD (5,10,15,20) specimen for 7 days & 28 days after curing.
