This document outlines the contents and structure of a study on the use of quarry stone dust and fly ash in concrete. It contains 5 chapters that discuss: 1) an introduction to the topic and objectives of the study, 2) a literature review on previous related work, 3) the experimental program used to study the properties and performance of different concrete mixes, 4) results of tests on the concrete mixes and a discussion of the findings, and 5) overall conclusions and potential areas for further research. The goal of the study is to evaluate the use of quarry stone dust and fly ash as partial replacements for cement and natural sand in concrete production.
