Water Penetration Resistance of Green Concrete Incorporating with Quarry Wastes

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, the workability, the compressive strength and the water penetration depth under pressure for concrete incorporate with quarry waste as fine aggregate were investigated. The mix proportions of concrete were set into two classes of water to cement ratio (w/c = 0.4, 0.6). The first class (C1), the mix proportion is 1.0:0.6:2.0:4.0 (Cement: Water: Fine: Coarse). And the second class (C2), the mix proportion is 1.0:0.4:1.5:3.0 and adding the superplasticizer 1% of cement weight. The natural river sand, which use in concrete, was partially replaced by quarry dust at the rates of 0% (no quarry dust), 50% and 100 % by weight of fine aggregate. The results show that concrete containing quarry wastes as fine aggregate decreased the workability and do not significantly affect the 28-day compressive strength whereas concrete incorporating with quarry dusts reduces the water penetration depth.
