Experimental Study On Recycled Industrial Waste Used In Concrete

ABSTRACT Sustainability in Concrete Production can be achieved by innovations in substitutions of materials used. Use of a Marble Waste Powder is not very usual though it has no behavioral problem and there has been little research work done on the waste. Marble waste is a solid waste material generated from the marble processing and can be used either as a filler material in cement or fine aggregates while preparing concrete. It has been used as a replacement of fine aggregates in many literature works but this paper presents the feasibility of the substitution of marble waste for cement to achieve economy and environment saving. The Compressive strength and Split Tensile strength of Concrete can be increased with addition of waste marble powder up to 10% replace by weight of cement. Earlier research also indicate that the effects of blending marble waste on the properties of cement such as consistency, setting times, insoluble residue, and soundness remain within the acceptable ranges of different standards. The production of cheaper and more durable concrete using this waste can solve to some extent the ecological and environmental problems. Therefore this paper provides a scope for more research which is required to design consistent and durable concrete with this waste.
