Abstract:
In this research the strength and durability of concrete with replacement of river sand with GBS sand are studied. Parameters of GBS sand are studied to determine the optimum quantity of GBS sand that can be used as substitute for natural sand without affecting the strength of concrete. Compression test, flexural strength, split tensile test, water absorption test and Water penetration test were conducted on specimens of Grade M20, M25 and M30 with 0, 15, 30 and 50 percentages of replacement. For compression test the cube was cured for 28 days, and for durability (Water permeability test and Water absorption test) cubes were cured for 28 days. The results were obtained and compared with that of natural sand concrete. It is found that use of GBS sand will not reduce the strength of concrete.
