This project report entitled to "An Experimental study on partial replacement of cement with granite powder in concrete". The main object of This experimental study is to analyse and investigates the feasibility of utilizing granite powder as a partial replacement for cement in concrete production. With the growing concerns over the environmental impact of cement manufacturing and the need for sustainable construction materials, granite powder--an industrial by-product from the granite cutting and polishing process--presents a promising alternative. The study involved preparing concrete mixes with varying percentages of granite powder (ranging from 0% to 30%) as a partial replacement for cement. Tests were conducted to evaluate the workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, and durability of the concrete at different curing periods. The results indicate that the inclusion of granite powder enhances the strength properties of concrete up to an optimal replacement level, beyond which the performance slightly declines. Additionally, granite powder contributed to improved sustainability and cost-effectiveness without compromising the structural integrity. This research supports the potential application of granite powder in green concrete technology and promotes the efficient management of industrial waste.
