Abstract—The reduction in the sources of natural sand and the requirement for reduction in the cost of concrete production has resulted in the increased need to identify substitute material to sand as fine aggregates in the production of concretes. Quarry dust, a by-product from the crushing process during quarrying activities is one of such materials. Granite fines or rock dust is a byproduct obtained during crushing of granite rocks and is also called quarry dust. This present work is an attempt to use Quarry Dust as replacement for Sand. Attempts have been made to study the basic properties of Quarry dust and compressive strength of Quarry dust concrete. The quarry dust behaves similar to conventional fine aggregate (sand) with respect to aggregate properties and zonal study. The optimum compressive strength is achieved at the proportion of fine to coarse with 60:40 ratio.
