Experimental investigation on partially replacement of cement in concrete by marble slurry

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the possibility of using marble slurry as cement partially with
different percentage of concrete composites. The aim of this work is to study the possible use of marble cutting sludge
waste in concrete production, which would reduce both the environmental impact and the production cost. The
industry stone has contributed to the development of major environmental problems due to waste generation at
different stages of mining and processing operation. To solve the problem of these waste generated by the stone
production industry, several technical solution consider the incorporation of stone sludge in other industrial activities
as a by-product. Concrete is the most widely used construction materials in civil engineering industry because of its
high structural strength and stability.
In this research work, Marble slurry has replaced the cement accordingly in the reach of 15% & 20% by weight of
M15 & M-20 grade concrete. Concrete mixtures were developed, tested and compared in terms of compressive
strength to the conventional concrete. The purpose of the investigation is to analyze the behavior of concrete while
replacing the Marble slurry with Different proportions in concrete.
