Abstract
Quarry Rock Dust can be defined as residue, tailing or other non-voluble waste material after the extraction and processing of rocks to form fine particles less than 4.75â¯mm. This paper presents the feasibility of the usage of Quarry Rock Dust as a substitute for Natural Sand in geopolymer mortar. The by-product materials considered in this study are combination of GGBFS and Fly ash. The experimental program involves casting of geopolymer mortar cubes by using GGBFS, Flyash and Quarry rock dust and testing them at 1â¯day, 3â¯days and 7â¯days for compressive strength. Different parameter considered in this study is alkaline fluid to binder ratio Keeping 12-Molarity of the alkaline liquid and the ratio of sodium hydroxide to sodium meta silicate as constant (1:2).
