N. C.T. College, Rewa, M.P., India -----------------------------------------------------------------------------***------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstract - There is high demand in construction industry, it is obtained from river bed and sand mining has environmental issues. Amount of River sand is keeps on reducing, thus alternative materials has to be explored. Quarry dust is the by- product of quarring of natural rock, the finer material lefts there due to its no use. the finer material called as quarry dust can be taken as alternative material. The river sand is replaced partially by quarry dust. The proportions of quarry dust replacing by 0%, 25%, 35%,45% and 55%. The materials testing, workability, compressive and tensile strength of concrete were examined at 7th, 14th and 28th day of curing of M20 grade of concrete. Then the same ratio has been examined with nylon 66 fibre to improve the tensile strength of size 6mm and quantity of 0.1% of weight of cement. Same testing is done for fibre reinforced concrete. The light weight fibre reinforced concrete is made and compared in between normal concrete, quarry dust replaced concrete and fibre reinforced quarry dust replaced concrete. Key Words: Quarry dust, nylon 66 fibre, compaction factor, compressive strength and tensile strength. 1. INTRODUCTION Concrete is the most widely used material in structural development throughout the world. the raw material of concrete which is namely used are cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water. River sand is used as the fine aggregate. due to increase in demand of natural sand river erosion and other environmental issues are led to scarcity of river sand. In order to reduce use of natural sand and also reduce the cost of concrete production , it is necessary to find alternate materials which can replace the natural sand, so that the excess in river erosion is prevented and also to gain strength of concrete at low cost. One alternative partial replacement of natural sand can be quarry dust. it has the properties as sand to strengthen the concrete. 1.1 Objective  Effect of use of quarry dust on workability.  Effect on compression strength of concrete by using quarry dust.  Effect on tensile strength of concrete using fibers.  use of fibers will reduces lmicro cracks. To give a solution regarding disposal of quarry dust which creates environmental pollution mainly landfill. 2. LITERATURE REVIEW The present research work mainly deals with the influence of different replacement proportions of cement , sand and aggregate. In this report we have replaced sand by quarry dust. The suitability of dust by replacing sand gives the properties are improved in different proportions. Some experiments on quarry dust by Akshay A.Waghmare, Akshay G. Kadao, Ayushi R. Sharma Civil Engineering Dept. P.R.M.I.T. & R.Badnera Amravati, India reported significant increase in compressive strength modulus of rupture and split tensile strength when 40 percent of sand is replaced by Quarry Rock Dust in concrete. Perumal Associate Professor and Head, Department of Civil Engineering, Jayamatha Engineering College, Aralvoimozhi concluded that Concrete acquires maximum increase in compressive strength at 50% sand replacement. The percentage of increase in strength with respect to control concrete is 24.04 in M20. The overall test results disclosed that quarry waste fine aggregate can be utilized in concrete mixtures as a good substitute of natural sand. It is found that the flexural strength, compressive and Durability Studies of concrete made of Quarry Rock Dust are almost equal to that of conventional concrete. 3. MATERIAL AND METHODOLOGY On mixing the water, cement hardens and hence all the ingredients are bounded together. Portland cement is the most commonly used cement with the composition of alumina, silica, lime, iron, and gypsum. The concrete mixtures consist of both coarse and fine aggregates which helps in increasing the strength of concrete. Nowadays, sand, gravel, crushed stone, recycled materials, including blast furnace slag, glass (mostly for decorative purposes), and ground-up concrete are used as aggregates. The water in the concrete mix should be clean and free of impurities. The change in water content with respect of cement decides the properties of the cement like how easily the concrete flows, but also affects the final strength of the concrete. Excess water implies to easier flow of concrete, but decreases its strength.
