Investigation of the Use of Quarry Dust as a Substitute of River Sand in Concrete Mixes

Civil engineering is one of the most prestigious branches of engineering and if you are enrolled to Civil and Structural Engineering and looking for Civil final year project idea, this project on "investigation of the use of quarry dust as a substitute of river sand in concrete mixes" could be your next big idea. This project is to provide guidance on the various
issues regarding the use of quarry dust as a substitute for river sand and both full replacement and partial replacement of river sand with quarry dust will be analyzed in this Civil project. You can also subscribe to FINAL YEAR PROJECT'S by Email for more such projects and seminar.

This will be done by compounding both quarry dust and river sand to see the most effective gradation that produces the best compressive strength. The combo style has been developed using British Standard Design approach for each conventional concrete and quarry dust concrete. Tests are to be conducted on concrete cubes to review the strength of concrete fabricated from quarry rock dust and the results were compared with the natural sand concrete.


In order to satisfy the objectives, this analysis seeks to determine the advantages of using quarry dust over river sand. It is accepted that Compressive strength and workability are the single most vital properties of concrete. This analysis goes further to investigate properties of concrete like durability and soundness and the way they're affected by the substitution of river sand with quarry dust.


River sand is turning into an awfully scarce material. The sand mining from our rivers has become offensively excessive. It's currently reached a stage wherever it's killing all our rivers day by day. Hence sand mining has to be discouraged so as to save the rivers of our country from total death. Environmental pressure, prices and a shortage of stream sand has made it necessary for another object in this type of deposit in developing countries to be used.


In this work, a trial has been created to review the consequences of mistreatment quarry mud as a substitute for stream sand, its strengths, its weaknesses and therefore the overall effectiveness once the stream sand is replaced with Quarry mud in construction activities. within the context of the depletion of natural sand, what the study suggests will definitely provide associate degree impetus to the development state of affairs of not solely Eldoret city, however, our country generally.

This study, incorporating the extended use of quarry dust, is directed towards exploring the chance of making effective use of the discarded quarry dust in concrete.

This project report on "investigation of the use of quarry dust as a substitute of river sand in concrete mixes" contains figures, table of contents, nomenclature, slump test, data analysis and presentation, research methodology, the effect of shape and texture of fine aggregate, properties of concrete, concrete ratios, etc.
