Effects of Quarry Dust as Partial Sand Replacement on Compressive Strength and Crack Profile of Cement Composites

This research presents the findings of experimental works in terms of mechanical properties and crack profile of cement composites containing quarry dust at different percentages as a partial sand replacement. The compositions of quarry dust were varied from 10 to 20 wt. % and were mixed into five different ratios. It was found that 0.45 water cement ratio was suitable to mix all proportions and values of slump were observed have been increased...
