Abstract

Dimensional stones are used primarily in buildings and construction industry. Almost all the buildings exhibit stones that are shaped, cut or polished for the walls, floors, columns and steps. There are a large number of dimensional stones available in southern Asia such as sandstone, slate, marble, granite, gneiss, etc. which produces huge amount of waste in their manufacturing, cutting and polishing. This waste is dumped in the fields openly and it causes major environmental problems such as land infertility, loss of land infiltration, air pollution, problem in breathing, etc. India has large reserves of granite and huge amount of waste is produced that’s why we have worked on granite specifically. Granite is a coarse grained rock composed mostly of quartz, alkali, feldspar and plagioclase. Green granite is hard enough to resist abrasion, strong enough to bear significant weight, inert enough to resist weathering and it accepts a brilliant polish. Granite is an igneous volcanic rock having good compressive strength and it has always been used in the concrete as a replacement for fine aggregate. But in this research, we have replaced the granite with the cementitious material that is, the cement. For this, we have replaced the granite with cement by 0%, 5%, 10% and 15%. Detailed study has been done to investigate the fresh, mechanical and physical properties of granite waste powder, the compatibility of use of granite waste powder in concrete. Analysis of the fresh, mechanical and physical properties of concrete mixes designed with different mix proportioning quantities with the use of granite waste powder as a cementitious material.
