Patel Kirtan R, Siddharth Shah

Abstract: Concrete is most widely used material in construction industries and day by day the usage of fine aggregate in concrete has become challenge due to environmental problems. In this paper an attempt is made to reveal the facts and figure to utilize the quarry waste materials in concrete replacing fine aggregates. The quarry waste has very similar physical and chemical properties as river sand and they can be good substitute to natural river sand as fine aggregates. The quantity of waste produced is also very large to suffice the need of the construction industry for its potential use in concrete. The literature review reveals that quarry waste alone is used for its potential use in concrete. In this study detailed review is carried out for various doses for maximum strength and economy is carried out in various sections. After critical review it was found that there is very little work on durability aspects of concrete prepared by quarry waste in combination with other wastes.
