Studies were conducted to find out the feasibility of using quarry dust to partially replace sand in concrete. . These studies revealed that, due to increased fineness, the combination require an increased water cement ratio which results in strength reduction or the use of a water reducing admixture. Use of super pozzolanic supplementary cementing materials such as silica fume, rice husk ash, metakaolin etc in concrete and mortar improves the strength even at a higher water binder ratio. Metakaolin, a manufactured material, calcined kaolinite is available at moderate cost. This paper presents the results of a study to use metakaolin in cement mortar as a partial replacement of cement where quarry dust was used as the fine aggregate. The effect of water binder ratio and metakaolin replacement level on the compressive strength of cement quarry dust mortar was investigated.
