Concrete is the commonly used material in the construction industry. The widely used raw material in the concrete are cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water, of this common river sand is used as fine aggregate. But, now-a-days river sand is at great rate of depletion and expansive, due to which there was a need for an effective alternative. Quarry dust, has been found as an economic alternative for sand. In this paper, we have investigated the study of quarry rock dust as partial replacement of fine aggregate in concrete. Mix design has been developed for M20 grade using IS design for conventional concrete and replaced mix. Specimens on cubes, cylinders and beams were prepared for both conventional and 20%, 40%, 60% replacement with quarry dust. Tests were conducted on the specimens after 28 days curing to attain its maximum compressive, tensile and flexural strength. Graphs were drawn and results were compared with controlled mix. It is found that the effective replacement of sand with quarry dust is possible.
