Influence on Mechanical Properties of Concrete using Stone Quarry Dust and PET Fiber

Concrete is identified as a fairly breakable material when exposed to loading and normal stresses. The tensile strength of concrete is around one-tenth of its compressive strength. The resulting concrete members are not able to support the stresses and loads that occur mainly in most concrete structures. The loss of conventional sand leads the requirement for other materials for their placement. This test study clarifies in insight regarding stone quarry dust residue which is an industrial waste material accessible locally in India as a substitute material to normal sand which is generally utilized in cement concrete. Stone quarry dust has recently been widely regarded as a river sand substitute, and to explain impact importance and impact mechanism of stone quarry dust concrete characteristic parameters demonstration is important for its scientific application. This study is carried in M35 grade of concrete. This study examines stone quarry dust in different percentages (5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%). In this study concrete performance with non-biodegradable waste plastic fibers, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) also has been systematically examined. PET waste is added in different percentages (0%, .5%, 1%, and 1.5%) by volume. At first stone quarry dust is varied in different percentages (5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%) as partial replacement of sand. Peak value of stone quarry dust is obtained at 10%. After that keeping stone quarry dust amount fix at 10% as sand replacement, PET fiber is added in different percentage (0%, .5%, 1%, and 1.5%) in concrete
