EFFECT ON STRENGTH USING MARBLE POWDER

Abstract

The solid waste coming out from the industries will help in the conservation Of natural resources. The marble
powder as a waste material coming out from the marble industries by cutting and sawing process and can be used as the
partial replacement of fine aggregates in concrete pavements. Marble powder is present abundantly and degrades the land
on which it is laid. This paper reports the evaluation on the properties of marble dust. The marble dust used as fine
aggregate in replacement of natural sand, as the sand is expensive because of the excessive cost of transportation from
natural sources. Marble powder also has cementations properties and may help in binding the aggregates. The marble
powder can improve Various properties of concrete viz; and reduces the water cement ratio .57 Marble powder is used at
different percentages like 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% & 50% and are tested after test slump and sieve analysis.
