A BRIEF STUDY ON THE STRENGTH PARAMETERS OF CONCRETE USING MARBLE SLURRY AND CERAMIC WASTE AGGREGATE AS PARTIAL SUBSTITUTION OF OPC-43 AND COARSE AGGREGATE

Marble waste powder is waste material which is derived during the cutting and polishing of marble. While ceramic waste is obtained from various construction wastes. This experimental work is conducted to develop recycled (marble powderceramic waste aggregate) concrete by using marble waste powder as percentage substitution of OPC-43 and ceramic waste aggregate as percentage substitution of Natural aggregate. OPC-43 was partially replaced at different ratios of Marble powder (10%, 20%, and 30%) and coarse aggregate was replaced at different ratios of Ceramic (20%, 40%). In all the concrete mix, the water-binder ratio of 0.40 and slump of (50-90mm) is used. Different tests were performed, so to evaluate various mechanical properties of concrete. It was observed that the strength of concrete containing Marble slurry and ceramics tend to decline over 20% substitution of Marble slurry and 20% substitution of CWP and gives satisfactory results below that level. The main purpose of using ceramic aggregate and marble powder in concrete is to utilize various environmental hazardous waste materials such as marble waste and ceramic waste in making Recycled concrete.
