Abstract

The natural aggregates are one of the main components in the production of concrete. Although deposits of natural aggregates lie on the earth’s surface or at low depths and belong to common deposits, the shortage of aggregate, especially natural sand, is presently observed in many countries. In such a situation, one is looking for other materials that can be used as a substitute for natural aggregates in mortars and concrete production. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation carried out to evaluate the potential usage of waste basalt powder in concrete production. For this purpose, the waste basalt powder, which is a by-product of the production of mineral–asphalt mixtures, was substituted with 10%, 20%, and 30% sand replacement. In the experimental program, the workability, compressive strength, water transport properties, and microstructural performances were evaluated. The results showed that the production of concretes that feature a strong internal structure with decreased water transport behavior is possible with waste basalt usage. Furthermore, when waste basalt powder is used as a partial sand replacement, the compressive strength of concretes can be increased up to 25%. According to the microstructural analyses, the presence of basalt powder in concrete mixes is beneficial for cement hydration products, and basalt powder substituted concretes have lower porosity within the interfacial transition zone.
