Abstract :
Cement, sand and aggregate are basic needs for any construction industry. Sand is a prime material used for preparation of mortar and concrete and which plays a major role in mix design. Now a day’s on account of erosion of rivers and considerable environmental issues, there is a scarcity of river sand. The non–availability or shortage of river sand will affect the construction industry hence there is a need to find the new alternative material to replace the river sand, such that excess river erosion and harm to environment is prevented. Many researchers are finding different materials to replace sand and one of the major materials is quarry stone dust. Using different proportion of these quarry dust along with sand the required concrete mix can be obtained. Within this paper we are casting cubes by using crushed basalt sand and calculating its compressive strength in order to study its suitability for construction purpose. Observations from the tests performed were conducted in the laboratory of KCT Engineering College Gulbarga. where precise data were gathered and completely attained from the concrete Grade of M20 concrete cubes of size 15x15x15 cms size, and they are cured for 3,7,14, and 28 days in the concrete technological laboratory tank of KCT Engineering College Gulbarga.
