Construction expenses have mostly grown unaffordable in recent years. Civil engineering institutes and stakeholders throughout the world have worked to develop recyclable and resource-saving concrete for building applications in order to reduce these expenses. The majority of environmental issues arise from the disposal of trash in areas where marble sculpting takes place. The marble stone slurry generates both stone slurry and solid wastes, and with the massive discharge of marble trash locally, emphasis has been focused on the utilisation of waste material. This study looked into the use of marble dust powder in concrete, with varied percentages of marble dust (0%, 5%, 10%, 15% & 20%) replaced by sharp sand in M20 grade concrete mixes, while the water cement ratio was kept constant at 0.45. The compressive and split tensile strength of the concrete were evaluated after 7 and 28 days of curing time to determine its quality, performance, and dependability. The laboratory findings revealed that replacing marble dust powder with cement boosted concrete strength by up to 10% in terms of compressive load resistance and tensile strength.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
