Abstract: In the present study an investigation is made on properties of concrete by partial replacement of cement with Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS) and the fine aggregate with Quarry Dust (QD). GGBS is the by-product of iron and steel industry which is produced in large quantities as a solid waste. It is highly cementitious. Quarry Dust is a byproduct of the crushing process which is a concentrated material to use especially as fine aggregates. The replacement percentages of cement with GGBS are 20%, 40% and 60% by weight and fine aggregate with QD are 25%, 50% and 75% by weight. These combinations of materials were used to study compressive strength, spilt tensile strength and flexural strength tests and the results obtained were compared with the control concrete. It is observed that the optimum replacement percentages of GGBS and QD are 40% and 50% respectively.
Keywords: GGBS, Quarry Dust, Compressive Strength, Spilt Tensile Strength and Flexural Strength.
