An Experimental Study on Utilization of Marble Powder for Sustainable Construction

Abstract Marble dust powder is a waste that causes environmental troubles because millions of tonnes of marble dust powder are generated per year. The aims of this paper are to utilize the marble dust powder by replacing cement with marble dust powder.Thishelpsin sustainable construction and also protects the environment.Marbledustpowderisgeneratedfromlime stone mines, Glass and Paper industries etc. In this experiment, marble dust was used as an admixture in concrete, It contributed to betterstrengthascompareto normal concrete (by replacing cement with marbledust powder in a limited amount). In this experimental study, preparation of concrete cube is done by replacing cement with marble dust powder at variouspercentages (0% ,5%, 10%, 20%, 30% & 40%) and study of the workability and compressive strength of concrete. It is done after seven days and twenty eight days.

Key Words: Marble dust powder (MDP), Compressive Strength, Workability , Cement.

1.INTRODUCTION

Inthisproject,wehavestudyabouttheutilizationofa very fine grinding calcareous compound known as marbledustpowder,whichisproduceperyearinvery largeamountaswaste.Wehavestudiedtheutilization of marble dust as replacement for the pozzolanic material used in Portland pozzolanic cement. In this study, wehaveconcludedthat marble canbe a good enough replacement for pozzolanic material. This result in decrement in hazardous issues caused by carbon emission from the production of pozzolana cementandalsoconcludesthemanagementofwaste marbledustpowderproducedperyear.

Using the M25 mix design for determiningthecompressivestrengthandworkability of each sample. It is tested after 7 days and28 days. The increment of marble dust powder show the reduction of strengths concrete (with marble dust powder replacing 10% cement). It improved the prozzolanic reaction. Marble dust is a solid waste material. It can be used in concrete by replacing cementorfineaggregatewithlimitedamount.
