2. SCOPE OF THE INVESTIGATION
The scope of this investigation is to study the structural performance of concrete using different proportions of Quarry dust in glass fiber reinforced concrete.
This could make it possible to achieve economically increased strength, increased workability and resistance against cracking.

3. OBJECTIVE
To study the strength properties like cube compressive strength, cylinder split tensile strength.
To optimize the volume fraction of quarry dust keeping fiber content as constant for getting high performance.
To cast RCC structural elements with quarry dust and glass fibers as secondary reinforcement.

4. INTRODUCTION
Concrete is a widely used construction material in growing construction industry. Due to rapid growth in construction activity, the available sources of natural sand are getting exhausted.
An acute shortage of river sand has escalated construction costs and it has been affecting the construction sector.
Now, research institutions are developing alternatives to the natural resource for use in construction. The cheapest and the easiest way of getting substitute for natural sand is by crushing natural stone to get manufactured sand of desired size and grade which would be free of all impurities.

5. Glass fiber
In the form first used, glass fibers were found to be alkali reactive and products in which they were used deteriorated rapidly.
glass containing 16% Zirconium was successfully formulated in the 1960’s and by 1971 was in commercial production in the UK.
glass fiber is used in the manufacture of glass-reinforced cement (GRC) products, which have a wide range of applications.
Glass fiber is available in continuous or chopped lengths.
Fiber lengths of up to 35-mm are used in spray applications and 25-mm lengths are used in premix applications
. Glass fiber has high tensile strength (2-4 GPa) and elastic modulus (70-80 GPa)

8. Review of literature
MahendraR.Chitlangeand Prakash S. Pajgade (2010) studied the strength appraisal of quarry dust in SFRC.
They investigated the steel fibre reinforced concrete with quarry dust as fine aggregate.
Three matrices with compressive strength 20,30 and 40 MPa were designed and reinforced with crimpled steel fibres at dosage rate of volume fraction 0, 0.5,1.0,1.5 and 2.0 percent.
The specimens were prepared, cured and tested for compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength.

9. Priyanka A. Jadhav and Dilip K
Priyanka A. Jadhav and Dilip K. Kulkarni (2012) investigated the properties of concrete containing quarry dust.
The concrete exhibits excellent strength with 60% replacement of natural sand, so it can be used in concrete as viable alternative to natural sand.
They experimented the effect of water cement ratio and percentage replacement of quarry dust by natural sand as 0.4, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55 and 0%, 20%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 80%, and 100% respectively on the strength properties of concrete.
The study was carried out on M20 grade concrete with 0.5 water cement ratio
Quarry dust can be used as fine aggregate, but it has to satisfy the technical requisites like workability and strength.
