Abstract	The purpose of this investigation has been to evaluate the effect of quartz filler on concrete strength and microstructure, and to see if it is possible to replace cement with filler without loss of strength. Fillers are materials whose function in concrete is based mainly on size and shape. They can interact with cement in several ways; to improve particle packing and give the fresh concrete other properties, and even to reduce the amount of cement in concrete without loss of strength. Quartz was chosen as filler material, since it is inert and is available both as a by-product and a natural raw material. Different amounts of filler were used in the various experiments, as well as different particle size distributions. The results are positive: fillers can partially replace cement and at the same time improve the properties and the microstructure of the concrete. This research is part of a larger project that aims to find uses for by-products in concrete.L'objectif de cette recherche a été d'évaluer l'effet de la charge au quartz sur la résistance et la microstructure du béton, et de voir s'il est possible de remplacer le ciment par une charge, sans perdre de résistance. Les charges sont des matières dont la fonction au sein du béton dépend essentiellement de la taille et de la forme. Elles peuvent interagir avec le ciment de plusieurs manières; pour augmenter le compactage des particules et donner d'autres propriétés au béton frais, et même pour réduire la quantité de ciment dans le béton sans perdre de résistance. Le quartz a été choisi comme matériau de charge, car inerte et disponible aussi bien en tant que sous-produit qu'en tant que matière première naturelle. Différentes quantités de charge ont été utilisées lors des différentes expériences, ainsi que différentes répartitions entre les tailles des particules. Les résultats sont positifs: les charges peuvent remplacer le ciment et en même temps améliorer les propriétés et la microstructure du béton. Cette recherche fait partie d'un projet majeur dont le but est de trouver des utilisations pour les sous-produits contenus dans le béton.
