Article Synopsis
- The increasing demand for concrete is depleting natural sand resources, leading to environmental issues, particularly from river sand extraction.
- Utilizing waste materials like stone dust as a fine aggregate in concrete can reduce natural resource usage and address landfill problems while improving concrete properties when combined with nylon fiber reinforcement.
- This study investigates the combined effects of varying stone dust (20%-50%) and nylon fiber (0.25%-0.75%) proportions, along with different water-cement ratios, on the compressive and tensile strength of concrete, finding optimal percentages for strength enhancement while noting strength decreases with higher water-cement ratios and excessive stone dust.
