Abstract:

The innovation in construction materials is increasing day by day. This paper aims to study using basalt as a base material for construction. Basalt is an igneous rock found widely in a Deccan plateau. It had been used for aesthetic purposes like cobblestones and to made a statue etc. To use this basalt in the construction, tests have been conducted to find the chemical composition and property of Basalt. The chemical composition of basalt has been analyzed using reagents. Various property tests such as specific gravity and water absorption test, impact value test, and crushing value test has been carried out. From the analysis, the following properties have been found in the basalt as the property of carbon sequestration, low moisture content

Keywords:

Basalt, property test, chemical composition.
