“…The results indicated that the introduction of 13% waste sand and the reduction of the ordinary sand led to an increase in compressive strength, while the introduction of 23% waste sand and the reduction of the ordinary sand led to a decrease in strength, depending on the age of concrete. This performance was also confirmed in different literature sources [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. The strength of the mix characterized by a of 23% waste sand at 60 days, however, is comparable to that of the control mix.…”

“…For higher percentages (from 60% to full replacement) there is a reduction in the mechanical properties. This indicates that this material can be considered useful in structural applications and that the mechanical performance meets structural requirements as those for conventional concrete [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19].…”

“…The disposal of this type of waste is expensive and is also a cause of environmental pollution (e.g., leaching into water reserves, atmospheric pollution because of small particles causing respiratory diseases or deposited on plants disrupting photosynthesis, affecting aquatic habitats, etc.). Several studies dealt with the use of quarry dust as fine aggregate for concrete as a strategy of recycling [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. There is a growing interest in the waste generated and how the large volumes of waste can be transformed into an opportunity through recycling, because, as stated in several studies, [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], such a huge quantity of quarry waste may be considered as a resource of good quality.…”

As reported in different published studies, the quarried limestone and marble waste can be used in engineering applications, such as road and railway construction as well as in the production of concrete.…”

Strategies for Waste Recycling: The Mechanical Performance of Concrete Based on Limestone and Plastic Waste

Recycling is among the best management strategies to avoid dispersion of several types of wastes in the environment. Research in recycling strategies is gaining increased importance in view of Circular Economy principles. The exploitation of waste, or byproducts, as alternative aggregate in concrete, results in a reduction in the exploitation of scarce natural resources. On the other hand, a productive use of waste leads to a reduction in the landfilling of waste material through the transformation of waste into a resource. In this frame of reference, the paper discusses how to use concrete as a container of waste focusing on the waste produced in limestone quarries and taking the challenge of introducing plastic waste into ordinary concrete mixes. To prove the possibility of reaching this objective with acceptable loss of performance, the mechanical characteristics of concrete mixed with additional alternative aggregates classified as waste are investigated and discussed in this paper through the presentation of two experimental campaigns. The first experimental investigation refers to concrete made with fine limestone waste used as a replacement for fine aggregate (sand), while the second experimental program refers to the inclusion of three types of plastic wastes in the concrete. Different mixes with different percentages of wastes are investigated to identify possible fields of application. The experimental results indicate that use of limestone quarry waste and use of plastic waste are possible within significant percentage ranges, having recognized a limited reduction of concrete strength that makes concrete itself appropriate for different practical applications.

This present work is an attempt to use Quarry Dust as partial replacement for Sand in concrete along with the steel fibres. Attempts have been made to study the properties of concrete and to investigate some properties of Quarry Dust reinforced with steel fibres; this article presents the compressive and split tensile strengths of Crimped steel fibre reinforced concrete with Quarry dust. In the experimental work natural Sand was replaced by Quarry dust in the proportion of 50% and 100%. The Crimped steel fibres (CSF) were used in the concrete by 1 and 1.5% volume fraction. After conduction of experiments on the cube and cylinder specimens, the results showed that, the incorporation of Crimped steel fibre reinforced concrete with 50% Quarry dust for M20 grade of concrete increases the mechanical properties of concrete. Keywords: Crimped steel fibre, quarry dust, compressive strength, split tensile strength, slump and compaction factor test.
