Quarry dust and Marble powder are the most used among such materials to replace river sand, which can be used as alternative to fine aggregate in concrete. In the resent investigation workability and strength of concrete was evaluated by replacement of natural sand by Quarry dust and marble powder in equal proportions of 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%,40%,50% and 60% is studied for M25grade concrete cubes. Slump cone method is taken for finding workability. For strength parameters for each grade of concrete Cubes were casted and tested at the age of 7 and 28 days. In this present experimental study on concrete having grades of M25 are prepared by replacing natural sand by Quarry dust and Marble powder. The main cause of concern is the non-renewable nature of natural sand and the corresponding increasing demand of construction industry. River sand which is one of the basic ingredients in the manufacture of concrete has become highly scarce and expensive. Therefore, looking for an alternative to river sand has become a necessity. Hence, the crusher dust which is also known as Quarry dust and Marble powder can be used as an alternative material for the river sand. Quarry dust and Marble powder contains similar properties as that of river sand and hence accepted as a building material. The present paper focuses on investigating maximum percentage replacement of river sand by Quarry dust and Marble powder in varying equal percentages 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, and 60% for M25 mix designations. The cubes and cylinders are casted for each proportion and tests conducted for obtaining the compressive strength, split tensile strength of concrete.
