1. INTRODUCTION

   As we know the term concrete is a mixture of cement + sand

   + coarse aggregate with water. Concrete is a widely used in buildings as main constructional material. It is most important substance of a structure. In this project we replace cement by waste marble slurry because cement is costlier than waste marble slurry and some properties of cement are find in waste marble slurry. Marble powder is generated from sawing & polishing of marble blocks. Marble powder contains heavy metals which affect the human health environment. So to reduce thereharmful effects we use it as a replacement material in cement concrete. In the marble industry marble waste is generated in huge amount so disposal of this have great threat in front of industry. The Marble waste has cementing properties, so by using it we can replace cement and sand which will reduce the environmental & health effects as well as cost also.

2. OBJECTIVE

   Marble powder contains heavy metals which affect the human health environment. The disposal of this waste is also a major problem faced in India and abroad also. So to prevent these harmful alarms the waste marble dust is used as a replaced material in cement concrete. The landfill which is used for disposal of waste marble dust is also minimized by this replacement.

   Many engineers and senior faculties have also researched before us. In same manner we also research and studied about the waste marble. We collect waste marble and used it in concrete at various percentages and check the strength of concrete using various tests on concrete after 3, 7, 14& 28 days of curing. The research consists the effects and benefits of waste marble dust used as a replaced material. To perform the laboratory test in better way is the main object of this study.

3. MATERIALS AND METHODS

   1. Materials

      • Cement: Ordinary Portland cement was used because it is easily available in market. The cement was used in measuring whole tests. The Specific gravity of cement was 3.13 and the fineness of cement was 4%.

      • Coarse Aggregate: The Coarse aggregate was used as natural coarse aggregate. The specific gravity of the coarse aggregate was 2.58. The Fineness modulus was 7.76

      • Fine Aggregate: Natural river sand was used as fine aggregate. The Specific gravity of Fine aggregate was 3.42.

      • Marble Powder: The waste marble powder was used in this study as replacement by cement.

   2. Methods

      • Fineness Modulus: This test was done with the help of various sieves. The aggregate was properly sieved by this test. The relative percentage of aggregate was determined by this test so we can say it like grain size distribution also. This test was done by sieve analysis in laboratory using Sieve shaker. The nominal size of the aggregate was determined by Fineness modulus test.

      • Specific gravity: The specific gravity of an aggregate is a measure of quality of material. According to IS Code 2386(Part III)-1963 the strength is lower with lower specific gravity value .This test was done by using wire basket and Pycnometer.

      • Slump Test: The Unsupported fresh concrete, flows to the sides and a sinking in height takes place. This vertical settlement is known as slump. Slump test is carried out by using marble powder with Concrete mix Design CMD method and the slump was measured by using temping rod and Steel rule.

      • Compaction Factor Test: Workability gives an idea of the capability of being worked, i.e. idea to control the quantity of water in cements concrete mix to get uniform strength. Compaction test was done by using Compaction factor test apparatus.

      • Compressive strength Test: This test was performed in Compression Testing Machine (CTM). The cylindrical cubes of size 150 mm dia and 300 mm height were used. The load is applied in Kilo Newtons (KN) and then calculate the split tensile strength according to IS code IS 516:1959.

   1. CONCLUSIONS

      It has been observed that the waste marble dust can be used as a replacement of cement in concrete mortar up to 12%. The increment in compressive strength of concrete was observed upto 10.98% for the optimum composition of waste marble dust in concrete. Economic analysis reveals that for each 1m3 of concrete roughly 371 kg of cement can be saved. Alternatively it translates in savings amounting up to 2100 Rs per cubic meter of concrete. The most important but indirect benefit of this study states that a otherwise waste material substance can be used in construction practices hence avoiding hazardous effects of waste marble dust in the environment.

      As per past studies and researches it is so necessary to use the waste marble powder for the construction work. Necessary infrastructure should also be available for testing the quality of waste marble concrete. Project developers need to be educated on on-site waste management plans. Concerned authorities need to plan an awareness campaign, using the electronic and online media to promote the virtues of Waste marble powder.
