  • Abstract:
  • An enormous amount of energy is consumed each year by the billion tonnes of cement produced around the world. Because cement manufacturing is the largest contributor of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, demand is expected to decrease for a better environment. Various mineral additives such as silica fume, fly ash, and blast furnace slag have been used in concrete production, whereas marble dust can be used as a sand replacement as well as a cement replacement in concrete. The use of marble by-products as 100 percent substitutes for natural sand in concrete has been shown to improve the compressive strength and split tensile strength of the concrete. The primary goal was to investigate the effect of partial replacement of cement with marble dust powder and to obtain compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength for 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% replacement of cement with marble dust by weight. The workability, strength, and durability characteristics of concrete were examined.
