A review on Properties of Sustainable Concrete using granite dust as replacement for river sand

Published literature shows huge potential of granite dust as a replacement of natural fine aggregate. The depletion of reserves of sand and stricter mining laws have made the need for substitution of natural sand in concrete an absolute necessity. A comprehensive overview of the published literature on the use of granite dust in concrete is being presented. Effect of granite dust on the properties of concrete such as workability, setting times, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, shrinkage, durability & microstructure of concrete have been presented.
