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.
