Introduction to Quarry Dust
Quarry dust, a byproduct of the crushing process, is a concentrated material that can be used as aggregates for concrete, particularly fine aggregates. The rock is crushed into different sizes during quarrying activities; the dust produced during the process is referred to as quarry dust and is created as waste.
Utilization of Quarry Dust as Fine Aggregates in Concrete
Replacement for Fine Aggregates
It has been discovered that substituting 40% of the fine aggregate with quarry dust produces the strongest concrete, with the strength decreasing after that point to 50%.
Enhances Concrete Texture
Mixing quarry dust in concrete enhances the concrete texture and upto some extent strengthen the buildings.
Induces Higher Compression
Quarry dust fine particles induce higher compression in the mortar mixes, which is used to build strong structures.
Comparison
Quarry Dust
- It is itself an impurity
- Low level of sustainability
- consists of fine particles
Sand and Sustainability
- Contains no impurities.
- High level of sustainability
- Consist of fine, sharp, and angular particles.

FAQ’s
Yes, cement's compressive strength is increased by using quarry dust. Because it fills in all the pores and tiny gaps, void-free concrete is created, increasing flexural strength. However, using more quarry dust than is necessary reduces the compressive strength and workability.
The definition of a material's density is its mass per unit volume. Quarry dust waste with a percentage of 0 percent had the highest dry density value, coming in at 1915.9 kg/m3, and quarry dust waste with a percentage of 10 percent had the second-highest value, coming in at 1879.2 kg/m3.
There is even potential for using quarry dust to prepare mortar for plastering. In the broadest sense, cement can be combined with quarry dust to make strong concrete.
Use of crushed sand is advised on the construction site. It offers a cheaper and sustainable alternative to natural sand because of its higher compression property.
