Abstract
This research delves into the effect of partial replacement of cement with granite powder in concrete production incorporating granite powder, ordinary Portland cement N32.5, river sand, and crushed aggregates of maximum size 28 as key fine aggregate components. Through systematic investigation, the study evaluates the chemical and physical properties of granite powder in the concrete mix the study summarises the crucial factors such as compressive strength, density, workability, and water absorption to comprehensively assess the concrete's suitability for construction applications. This investigation contributes valuable data to advance the understanding of granite waste concrete formulations, comparing the properties of granite powder with that of cement in concrete production like consistency limit and initial and final setting time concrete, emphasizing sustainable materials and enhancing overall construction efficiency in construction engineering.
