EFFECT ON CONCRETE COMPRESSIVE PROPERTIES USING MARBLE DUST
Keywords:
-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. The marble powder can improve various properties of concrete viz; compressive strength, flexural
strength and reduces the water cement ratio. Marble powder is used at different percentages like 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% &
50% and are tested after 7, 14, and 28 days. The results are then compared with conventional concrete.
