| Summary: | Concrete is a widely used construction material, and its properties can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the unit weight of aggregates used in the mix. One of the key components of concrete is the aggregate, which is typically made up of sand and gravel or crushed stone. The unit
weight of aggregates can have a significant impact on the performance of the concrete. It can affect the strength, permeability, and durability of the mix. Different types of fine aggregates can result in different concrete properties, making it important to study and understand the influence of unit
weight on the behavior of concrete. Therefore, this study was made by will be used and use of pumice sand, river sand, and quarry dust on the performance of concrete. The aggregate C20 grade of concrete was designed and tested. The experimental investigation was conducted on both fresh
and hardened concrete such as workability, density, compressive strength, particle size distribution, water absorption, and fineness modulus. Concrete cubes were cast and soaked in a curing tank for 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days. |
