Experimental Study on Properties of Granite Waste in Self Compacting Concrete

M. Manikandan, Dr. T. Felixkala

Abstract :

The main objective of this study utilizes the granite waste in self–compacting concrete. The effect of using granite powder and granules as constituents of fines in mortar or concrete by partially reducing quantities of cement as well as other conventional fines in self compacting concrete. The mixtures are prepared based upon cement or sand substitution by the granite waste and their properties are evaluated both in fresh state and in hardened state of self–compacting concrete. The possibility of using granite powder as replacement of sand and partial replacement of cement with fly ash, silica fume, slag and superplasticiser in concrete. The percentage of granite powder added by weight was 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 as a replacement of sand used in concrete and cement was replaced with 7.5% silica fume, 10% fly ash, 10% slag and 1% superplasticiser. The workability test is conducted on fresh concrete using Slump – Flow test, L– Box test, and V – Funnel test. In the further study hardening test are Compressive Strength, Flexural Strength, Split Tensile Strength are conducted and compared for different proportions of granite waste at different curing periods on hardened concrete specimens.
