dc.description.abstract	Abstract: This paper provides the result of an experimental investigation into the replacement of sand with quarry dust in production of sandcrete blocks using mix ratio of 1:6. Physical properties of sand and quarry dust were determined in the laboratory in accordance with BS 1377(1997). Blocks were produced manually using 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30% partial replacement of sand with quarry dust. Compressive strength tests were carried out on the blocks after curing for 7, 14, 21 and 28 days respectively. It was found that adequate compressive strength was achieved at 15% replacement with quarry dust corresponding to compressive strength of 1.84N/mm2.	en_US
