Abstract
The bulk generation of quarry dust (QD) from quarries, aggregates, and decorative stone plants, is a serious environmental issue. However, QD has the potential to provide eco-economic and technical merits when incorporated in the construction products. This review provides current investigations on the development of QD-based cementitious material. Constituent materials, preparation techniques, measurable attributes, and po-tential uses were all compiled in this study. The ongoing study must be expanded to encompass additional building applications and intensified in terms of processing methods and researched qualities. More specifically, this research reviews and discusses the findings of concrete fresh properties, such as workability, flowability, and setting time, as well as hardened concrete properties, such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, drying shrinkage, unit weight, mass loss and ultrasonic pulse velocity. Besides, durability properties were reviewed, such as water permeability, chloride permeability, water absorption, and acid attack. Further, an overview on the microstructure and thermal properties of QD concrete were provided. QD is useful in enhancing the workability of concrete. This paper covers recommendations and observations for future research.
