The Research on the Effect of Granite Powder on Concrete Performance

The experimental research on the effect of different incorporation of granite powders on the workability, mechanical property and impermeability performance of concrete is carried out. The result show that the concrete with an appropriate dosage of granite powder exhibits favorable workability, impermeability performance and cohesiveness. And granite powders agree with cement-based materials. Within some dosage of granite powders, the compressive strength of the mixture is approximate to that of common concrete. When the 10% of cement was replaced by the granite powder, good impermeability performance exhibits, with the relative permeability coefficient 30% lower than that of common concrete.
