Abstract

A large amount of particles whose size is less than 0.075 mm in crushed sand is called rock powder. The content of rock powder in crushed sand has a direct influence on the mechanical properties of concrete. A sufficient amount of stone powder has a positive effect on filling the voids between aggregate particles and cement particles, increasing the strength of concrete, but the content of rock powder exceeds the limit value, the strength tends to decrease. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the appropriate stone powder content in concrete mixes using crushed sand. In the content of this paper, we present experimental results on concrete samples using crushed sand (CN) from Andesite rock mixed with fine sand (CM) in the Mekong Delta according to ratio CN/CM=60/40 and stone powder content varied from 2% to 7%. Research results show that, concrete mix has the highest value of compressive strength, tensile strength in bending, split compressive strength and elastic modulus when the content of rock powder in crushed sand is 3.5%.
