Department of Chemistry Laboratory at the University of Cape Coast (Ghana). Quarry dust The quarry dust (QD) in Fig. 1b was obtained from a local construction company in Cape Coast, Ghana. Table 2 shows the measured properties of QD as provided by the supplier. The QD had a dry, grainy appearance and showed little to no evidence of clay or silt.

The quarry dust imparts higher shear strength and it turns out to be a more advantageous geotechnical material [4]. This study presents the influence of quarry dust and lime on the geotechnical properties of lateritic soil. II. METHODOLOGY The soil sample used in this study was obtained from Rivers State, Nigeria. It was collected as disturbed ...

Quarry dust was obtained from nearby quarries at the home places like Paritala region, Kanchikacherla mandal, Advances in Civil Engineering Vijayawada (rural). he present investigations are aimed at studying the efect of quarry dust when it is replaced with sand partially in concrete. he quarry dust samples collected from Paritala region were ...

The chemistry of dusts is varied. Some dusts are rela- tively inert in their chemical effects, e.g. those from hard acidic rock quarries. However, limestone quarry dust, cement dust and that from many roads (e.g. Everett, 1980) is highly alkaline.

The fines fraction, also widely known as quarry dust (QD), poses environmental risks such as land and air pollution in the absence of a proper disposal channel. In recent years, numerous reported studies explored the feasibility of using QD as constituent aggregates in concrete production as a channel for extensive reuse and recycling of the ...

Quarry dust, a byproduct from the crushing process of stones (Blue metal) which is available abundantly from rock quarries at low cost in many areas can be an economical alternative to the river sand. Quarry dust can be defined as residue, tailing material after the extraction and processing of rocks to form fine particles less than 4.75mm.

The objective of this study is to discuss the inhibitive behaviour of two inorganic corrosion inhibitors namely sodium nitrite, an anodic inhibitor and zinc oxide, a cathodic inhibitor on steel embedded in concrete containing quarry dust as fine aggregate. Each inhibitor was evaluated for various strength properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural …
