The following objectives were used to achieve the aim of the project, namely obtaining the samples, determination of properties of materials, mix design of concrete and determination of workability and compressive strength of concrete. The quarry dust was collected from Mangal crusher along Basari road Katsina. Different experiment were carried out to determined the properties of aggregate such as, sieve analysis, specific gravity, intact value, and workability of concrete. The cubes were made using varying percentage of quarry dust as a replacement in concrete, the quantity of quarry dust was varied from normal control, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60%. The compressive strength for 7 days, 21 days and 28 days for all the cubes (samples) were determined the results for 28 days was 26.45 Nmm2, 30.41 Nmm2 24.2 Nmm2 and 21.8 Nmm2 for normal, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% replacement respectively. From the above result shown that strength of concrete increased in 30% by 3.96 Nmm2comparered to the normal control, also describe in 40%, 50% and 60% by 2.25 Nmm24.96 Nmm2and 4.65 Nmm2respectively there for the quarry dust modified concrete of 30% replacement has higher strength, such that 30% replacement of sand can be used as partial refund replacement for the improvement of concrete compressive strength....Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos
