Granite Powder (GP) and Iron Powder (IP) are industrial byproducts generated from the granite polishing and milling industry in powder form respectively. These byproducts are left largely unused and are hazardous materials to human health because they are airborne and can be easily inhaled. An experimental investigation has been carried out to explore the possibility of using the granite powder and iron powder as a partial replacement of sand in concrete. Twenty cubes and ten beams of concrete with GP and twenty cubes and ten beams of concrete with IP were prepared and tested. The percentages of GP and IP added to replace sand were 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the sand by weight. It was observed that substitution of 10% of sand by weight with granite powder in concrete was the most effective in increasing the compressive and flexural strength compared to other ratios. The test resulted showed that for 10% ratio of GP in concrete, the increase in the compressive strength was about 30% compared to normal concrete.Similar results were also observed for the flexure. It was also observed that substitution of up to 20% of sand by weight with iron powder in concrete resulted in an increase in compressive and flexural strength of the concrete.

“…The increase in water demand of concrete mixtures produced by the adverse effects of shape and texture of fine aggregate can be mitigated using highrange water-reducing admixtures as reported in a previous paper. 26 Although they may cause an increase in the water demand, the effect of shape and surface texture of fine aggregates on mechanical properties are often not a factor in conventional concretes (30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38)(39)(40). For these concretes, the hydrated cement paste and the transition zone around the aggregate is relatively weak.…”

“…Speeding of the hydration process and increase in the C 3 S content with the effect of nucleation, may lead to increase in compressive strength at early ages. Singh et al 31 stated that the optimum GCW substitution rate for compressive strength and flexural strength was in the range of 20-30%. The depth of penetration decreased up to a substitution rate of 30% and then increased up to a substitution rate of 50%.…”

In this review, the studies conducted on the use of recycled waste granite (WG) in place of different components in concrete or cementitious materials, such as aggregate and cement were reviewed. In this regard; research was conducted on the reuse of WG to make economic benefit, to prevent accumulation of WG, to contribute to the environment by helping in the formation of new materials from waste material, and the use of WG, which would generate hazardous radioactive gas to human health, in concrete production. Thus, the cementitious materials that will be obtained shall be environment-friendly, economic, and helpful in the isolation of hazardous radioactive wastes. Therefore, within the scope of this study, it was investigated whether semi-green cementitious materials obtained from recycling WG would have the mechanical characteristics to satisfy the requirements, and have equivalent or even surpassing characteristics compared to materials made from classic materials. The results were obtained at a substitution rate of 5-7.5%; when recycled WG was used in place of aggregate, the results were obtained at a substitution rate of 15-25%; and when recycled WG was used in place of coarse aggregate, it gave better performance than recycled normal concrete aggregate and worse performance than crushed quartzite coarse aggregate. Furthermore, in terms of economy, it was determined that the utilization of WG would decrease costs by a minimum of 0.54% and a maximum of 2.1%; while with respect to CO 2 emissions, the use of WG could decrease worldwide CO 2 emission by 5%. Also, it was determined that the best solution for granite, which could cause gas emissions of hazardous gases such as radon gas, would be to be used in concrete that would be exposed to open air.

“…The studies in which granite cutting waste is used as a substitution for fine aggregate in UHPC is relevant in this area. Sarbjeet et al [12] showed that a substitution of 40% of the aggregate had a positive iMPact on the flexural strength while for a ratio of 70% the results were coMParable to those of the control concrete. López Boadella et al [13] observed an increase in flexural strength and tensile strength by substituting 35% of micronized quartz with fine granite cutting waste.…”

Use of Mining Waste to Produce Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete

This research work analyses the influence of the use of by-products from a fluorite mine to replace the fine fraction of natural aggregates, on the properties of Ultra-High-Performance Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (UHPFRC). Replacing natural aggregates for different kinds of wastes is becoming common in concrete manufacturing and there are a number of studies into the use of waste from the construction sector in UHPFRC. However, there is very little work concerning the use of waste from the mining industry. Furthermore, most of the existing studies focus on granite wastes. So, using mining sand waste is an innovative alternative to replace natural aggregates in the manufacture of UHPFRC. The substitutions in this study are of 50%, 70% and 100% by volume of 0–0.5 mm natural silica sand. The results obtained show that the variations in the properties of consistency, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and tensile strength, among others, are acceptable for substitutions of up to 70%. Therefore, fluorite mining sand waste is proved to be a viable alternative in the manufacturing of UHPFRC.
