Evaluation of Concrete with Partial Replacement of Cement by Waste Marble Powder

This study aims to evaluate concrete having Waste Marble Powder (WMP) as partial replacement of cement. is the metamorphic form limestone (CaCO3) and WMP was chosen substitute cement on account its high calcium oxide content. by-product marble industry an environmental burden. The manufacturing also environmentally hazardous owing emission greenhouse gases. Thus, recycling in place offers two ecological advantages. Thirdly, has a specific gravity 2.6 against that 3.15 for cement, which reduces weight finished products. Based previous studies, five different mixes were prepared 0, 5, 10, 15 15% levels. samples evaluated both through destructive non-destructive tests. Destructive tests included compressive, tensile flexural strengths, whereas comprised ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) rebound hammer. It observed workability decreases with inclusion higher water absorption, inhibits lubrication particles. strength improves up level 10% by mass densification created finer un-hydrated particles, act hard inclusions. Beyond 10%, starts declining due insufficient quantity matrix, binding Schmidt numbers authenticate compressive results: number increases beyond it decreases. results UPV indicate increase content: attributed compactness composite Doi: 10.28991/cej-2021-03091637 Full Text: PDF
