The granites are available in specific paperwork inclusive of saddletan, mediumtan, Santana, brown, terraze; light grey, uncommon earth etc., In this research work we are using the mild gray granite dust powder and includes the experiment examine of the usage of regionally available granite dust powder as a partially replacement in cement to gain maximum tensile strength of concrete. Granite industries generate a lot amount of waste in particular within the shape of powder in the course of sawing and polishing method, which pollutes and reasons damage to the environment. Granite dust powders have been acquired from exclusive factories which include Nan-jangud, Mysore district, Karnataka and Hebbal industrial vicinity. The use of granite dust powder in concrete leads to scarcity of natural aggregate. Because of this reason the granite dust powder is utilized as a partial replacement in cement with 0%,5%,10%,15%,20%,25% and 30% of the substitution and M20 grade concrete are used these were casted and tested for split tensilestrength KEYWORDS:Split tensile strength, Granite dust powder (GDP), Water-cement ratio. I. INTRODUCTION Around India the granite stone industry produces around 20 million tons of granite waste out of that 75-80% will be the rejected at industry site and 30-45% in the form of cutting and 5-7% granite slurry at polishing units. Concrete is homogenous material of fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, cement and water with given .proportion. Concrete is widely used as construction material in all over country; its annual global production is about 3.8 billon m 3 . Leaving the waste material to directly can cause the environmental problem. Hence the utilization/reuse of waste material has been emphasized. Waste can be used to produce new products or can be used as admixtures so that natural resources are used more efficiently and environment is protected from waste deposited. Granite waste is an industrial waste which is obtained from the granite polishing industry while cutting and shaping the stones in powderform.Granite.dust powder which is a by-product of granite processing factory was studied by many researchers for its use in concrete and mortar production as sand replacing or cement replacing material. Granite slurry can be used as building material in the form of granite dust powder and it as been accepted in the industrially advancedcountries. II. RELATED WORK The following section gives a brief background and some of the important pertinent studies that were carried out to the considered work, Y. Yashwath kumar [5] in his research work used granite powder waste as partial substituent to cement in concrete and examined the performance of concrete made with granite waste powder as a partial replacement of cement in 5 to 20%. The compressive strength for different percentage of granite powder is compare with standard concrete. In his work he achieved the maximum compressive strength in 10% replacement of granite dust powder. But higher re-placement of cement by GDP gives lower strength the effect of GDP on various other properties of concrete has also been evaluated. SRINIVASA C H[8] in his research work he replaced cement by granite dust powder as 5 to 40% with an increment of 5% the compressive strength is archived for 10% for 28 days when compare to normal concrete. Dr T FLEIX KALA[6] studied the “Effect of granite powder on strength properties of concrete” in his work he replaced cement by GDP as 25 to 100% with increment of 25% and the compressive strength achieve for 25% for 90 days and comparison is done with the normalconcrete. Dr G ELANGOVAN [7] studied the “Experimental studies of concrete by partial replacement of cement with
