The manufacture of bricks at a reasonable price becomes very difficult due to diminution of the naturally available resources. Excavation of soil for the production of bricks may affect adversely the ecological balance of the nature. Moreover, extraction of river sand is banned by the government and hence there is scarcity of the same for the production of concrete and …
The objective is to investigate their effect on excess pore water pressure (PWP), foundation settlement, and tilting, and propose technically sound and economically viable measures. In this study, a series of moderate scale 1- g shake table experiments were conducted at the University of Nevada, Reno, to evaluate the performance of those ...
In quarrying activities, rock is extracted and transformed into aggregate of various sizes for civil engineering applications. In this process waste fine aggregates (dust waste) are …
The effect of quarry dust on the flexural strength of concrete has been experimentally studied and reported in this paper. Concrete used was prepared by replacing 25% and of sand by weight ...
In this regard, research was conducted to investigate the effect of curing time on strength development of black cotton soil (BC soil) stabilized with 10% quarry fines (QF) and varying percentages ...
The effects of including quarry dust on the workability of self-compacting concrete were investigated by another study (Ho et al., 2002), where four mixtures were compared. Each one of the four mixtures included either granite fines or limestone powder at 35% or 50% of the total powder content by weight.
Quarry waste fines and eggshells are unavoidable wastes which relentlessly contribute to environmental loads and pollution. Although many studies have suggested various methods for recycling, these wastes remain underutilized due to some technical constraints. In addition, no study has yet explored the possibility of combining quarry waste fines (QWF) and …
A study was conducted to determine the effect of fines content in sand and water/cement ratio on some properties of concrete. Fines content in sand of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10% and 12% as well as water/cement ratio of 0.55, 0.6 and 0.7 were used. The concrete were prepared using the …
The effect of treating limestone quarry fines (LQFs) with a commercially available liquid polymeric soil stabilizer, and a combination of the polymeric soil stabilizer and a small quantity (4%) of portland cement was evaluated.

The Effect of Replacement of River Sharp Sand with Quarry Fines on the Split Tensile Strength of Concrete
The fines from old basaltic concrete were sieved to form recycled fine concrete aggregate and fine basaltic concrete powder (RFCA and RCP), respectively. Subsequently, the waste fines produced from the production station of basalt aggregate were sieved to form recycled fine natural aggregate and aggregate micro-fines (RFNA and AMF), respectively.
