EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT WITH BRICK POWDER AND FINE AGGREGTAE WITH QUARRY STONE DUST

The increased emphasis on life-cycle cost analysis for building projects necessitates a new focus on the service life and durability of concrete structures. Durability is the ability to withstand weathering, chemical attack, or any other deterioration process. Concrete is a competitive building material due to its great versatility and relative economy in meeting a wide range of needs. Because of the high demand for concrete in construction, carbon dioxide emissions from cement production have increased, as has the scarcity of natural river sand. As a result, there is a push to replace traditional concrete materials. Materials such as brick powder (BP) and quarry dust (QD) are chosen based on cost and durability. This project is concerned with the evaluation of changes in compressive strength in various M40 Grade concrete mixes, including conventional aggregate
concrete, concrete with 10% brick powder (BP) replacement, and fine aggregates with varying percentages of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% Quarry Dust replacement (QD). We can
conclude that concretes made from Brick Powder and Quarry Sand Dust has superior strength and durability in harsh environments when compared to conventional concrete.
