A STUDY OF USING WASTE MARBLE POWDER IN CONCRETE

Abstract

Concrete is the most critical factor used within the creation industry throughout the world ,wherein the first-rate aggregates is typically natural sand[1] .Due to rapid growing demand has production enterprise . Marble powder is made out of processing plant at some point of the cutting and polishing of marble blocks and approximately 20- 25 % of the processed marble is get into powder shape. Decomposing of marble is one of the major problem in environment. The use of marble in concrete formulation as a supplementary sand material was tested as an alternative to traditional concrete. The sand has been replaced by marble accordingly in the range of 10%, 20%, and 30% by the weight of cement for M-25. These tests were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties for the tests results for compressive strength up to 28 days
