Abstract :
An enormous amount of stone dust is produced as a sluggish waste material from the granite stone industry and various operations of stones. It has become a serious problem to the society and environment. Presently, use of river sand confirming to IS 383–1970 has become difficult because of unavailability and costly due to complicated rules and regulations. To overcome this difficulty, an economical alternative can be developed by partial replacement of sand with granite powder (GRP) in concrete. In this paper, a study is conducted to investigate the viable use of granite residue (GRP) in concrete mixes. Sand is replaced with GRP at 0%, 10%, 20% & 30% by weight for M20 grade of concrete. To study strength and durability properties of concrete, test on fresh and hardened concrete are conducted for all the mixes. The results show that GRP assimilation results enhancements in the compressive strengths of concrete by replacement up to 20% of GRP without affecting significant characteristics of the mix. The analysis confirmed that GRP are non–reactive materials and can act as filler in concrete. They can be used as a sustainable replacement for cement and fine aggregate.
