Abstract:

The increasing use of concrete for construction activities means an increasing need for concrete, thus triggering large-scale mining of rock and sand as concrete-forming materials. This can result in natural damage and reduced availability of natural resources. On the other hand, there is Granite Waste (GW) left over from processing granite as a building material. So far, GW production has not been managed properly. Generally, GW is left to pile up in limited work areas or is simply thrown away as fill material, so it has little economic value and pollutes the environment. This research aims to examine the effectiveness of GW in granular form as a coarse aggregate in making concrete. The effectiveness of the use of this waste is measured by comparing the compressive strength and the splitting tensile strength of concrete prepared by using GW coarse aggregate with that made by using natural Crushed Stone (CS) coarse aggregate or its mixture. The strength measurements are carried out after 28 days of hydration using 150x150x150 mm cubes for compressive strength and cylinders measuring 150 mm in diameter and 300 mm high for splitting tensile strength. The results of measurements and discussions show that the compressive and the tensile strength of concrete augment proportionally up to the use of 70% GW coarse aggregate and then tend to decrease. Furthermore, they also show that the ratio of the compressive strength/the splitting tensile strength increased proportionally with increasing use of GW coarse aggregate in the mixture.
