Sand collected from Aeolian deposits is expensive due to the unwanted cost of transportation from natural sources. Large-scale
exploitation of natural sand creates an environmental impact on society. River sand is the most commonly used fine aggregate in
concrete but due to acute shortage in many areas, availability, cost & environmental impact are a major concern. To overcome from this
crisis, the partial replacement of sand with quarry dust can be an economic alternative. In developing countries like India, quarry dust
has been rampantly used for different construction purposes but replacement technology has emerged as an innovative development
for civil engineering material.
