“…The cement content of self-compacting concrete (SCC) is relatively high, and the ratio of fine-to-coarse aggregates is more crucial compared to traditional concretes. In addition to cement, fine fillers, such as fly ash, silica fume, glass powder, slag, metakaolin, and marble powder, can be used to increase the paste content [23].…”

This study aims to apply the response surface methodology (RSM) to develop a statistical model that predicts and models the performance of both the fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). RSM was used to model processes involving three variables: the water/binder ratio, and the percentages of waste marble, and glass powder. Tests, including slump flow diameter, sieve stability, and L-box, were carried out to evaluate the fresh properties of the self-compacting concrete; compressive strength was analyzed at 7, 28, and 90 days. Statistical significance was only observed in the water/binder ratio for both the slump flow and sieve stability tests. Furthermore, these results indicate that the models used in the compressive strength tests demonstrate a high statistical significance for all ages. The findings suggest that incorporating waste marble powder (MP) and glass powder (GP) in SCC necessitates a significant amount of superplasticizer to counteract the workability loss, and it improves the compressive strength of SCC. The coefficients analyzed using the RSM approach validate its effectiveness as a predictive tool for determining the hardened properties of self-compacting concrete.

“…As the population grows, the depletion of limited natural resources and the increase in environmental pollution become more pressing concerns. Marble is a metamorphic, crystalline rock predominantly composed of calcite, dolomite, or serpentine materials [1][2][3]. Dolomite, a calcium magnesium carbonate, has a chemical composition of CaMg(CO3)2.…”

Marble deposits are abundant in Yemen, with economically significant quantities found in the Al-Selw district of Taiz. During marble extraction and processing, substantial waste is generated, which is often disposed of in open areas, leading to environmental degradation and public health concerns. Additionally, the accumulation of waste contributes to the depletion of natural resources. This study aims to assess the viability of utilizing Al-Selw marble waste as a coarse aggregate in concrete production. A series of tests, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), specific gravity, water absorption, Los Angeles abrasion, and particle size distribution, were conducted to achieve this objective. XRD analysis revealed the predominant presence of dolomite and calcite, while XRF results indicated major oxide components of CaO (27.06%) and MgO (23.89%), with other oxides at lower concentrations. The marble waste displayed a water absorption of 0.5% and a specific gravity of 2.82. With a unit weight of 1700 kg/m³ , the Al-Selw marble waste aggregate (SMWA) met the standard requirements for Los Angeles abrasion values for use as coarse aggregates in concrete. Based on these findings, SMWA has been identified as a high-quality coarse aggregate material, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional sources.

The road construction industry consume a considerable amount of natural aggregates in the world. As a consequence, the increase in the natural aggregates demand increases the construction cost. On the other hand, marble spoil waste, generated from marble cutting and polishing process, is an environmental nuisance in the world. Indeed, an economical solution to this problem is the reuse of these wastes as an aggregates for road construction. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the usability of aggregate, obtained by crushing marble waste, as a conventional aggregate for road construction using an experimental investigation. To achieve this objective, these experimental tests were carried out on fine and coarse marble aggregate samples: sieve analysis, Atomic Absorption Spectrometry, calcium carbonate content, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-Ray- diffraction (XRD), densities, water absorption, equivalent of sand, Los Angeles, Micro Deval, flakiness index, and shape index. Finally, experimental test results show that the chemical composition and the physical and mechanical properties of marble aggregate recommend it to be used as a conventional aggregate for road construction.
