Abstract
Experimental Investigation on locally available granite powder as a partial replacement of sand with admixtures in the production of concrete is presented in the paper. The concrete was made by using ordinary Portland cement. Granite is an igneous rock which is widely used as construction material in different forms. Nowadays many researches are going in to replacement of sand using many waste material like silica fume, fly ash, slag etc. Like this we are using granite powder is also used as a binder with partial replacement of sand. Now days the construction industry is in need of finding effective material for increasing the strength in concrete. The test results show clearly that granite powder of marginal quantity, as partial sand replacement has beneficial effect on the above properties. Concrete with replacement of fine aggregate by waste glass powder such as 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% were produced. Cube, cylinder, prism specimens of each one 9 numbers were cast, cured and tested for 7, 14, 28 days for strength.
