Abstract |
|
the sand mining from river beds creates environmental problem. The fine aggregate is one of the important constitute of concrete. It is required to find out the alternative of fine aggregate. The possibility of use of refractory waste and stone quarry dust as a suitable replacement of fine aggregate in concrete blocks is explored in this study. This study is very helpful to predict the compressive strength and other property of concrete block, which is made using Grog and Quarry dust, as a partial replacement of fine aggregate. Large volumes of Grog and Quarry dust are generated in refractory and quarries. Due to lack of waste disposal management, these wastes are disposed on the open lands. In this study the following tests will be done on concrete block: (1) Compressive strength (2) Water absorption (3) Test for block density. |
