Mechanical And Durability Studies Using Polypropylene Fiber and Quarry Dust In Concrete

Abstract

As conventional concrete has become pricey and scarce River sand, which is one of the
constituents used in the output of due to depletion of river bed. Quarry dust is a waste incur
during quarrying process. In the present study, the use of quarry dust as the fine aggregate
drop-off the cost of concrete production in terms of the complete replacement for natural
river sand. In this research the experimental study is carried out the
influenceof0%to100%replacementofsandwithquarrydust.The weakness in tension can be get
over by the use of conventional rod reinforcement and to some extent by the inclusion of a
adequate volume of certain fibers; various proportions of polypropylene fiber are taken to
check the properties of concrete. The objective of this is to increase the strength of concrete,
