Partial Replacement of Cement with Marble Powder and Fine Aggregates with Glass Powder

Marble stone industry generates both solid and stone slurry and as per survey solid waste generation is more in marble stone industry, in and about 40% of waste is formed, that is around 68 million tonnes. So, by dumping these wastes to the land may cause environmental problem and also effect the fertility of the soil. In this present study, concrete mix was prepared according to IS 10262:2009 and experimental studies were carried out to investigate the strength properties of M25 concrete made with various mixes. Properties studied include compressive strength and split tensile tests of hardened concrete. Marble dust used was 6%, 9%, 12%, 15% and 18% and also strength will be compared with conventional concrete. this study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of partial replacement of Fine aggregates with glass powder in concrete. Experimental programme was conducted using 5% partial replacement of fine aggregates with glass powder has taken for concrete of M25 grade with 0.45 water cement ratio. In this study, set of cubes and beams were cast for compressive and split tensile strength respectively. Concrete specimens were tested after 7-, 14- and 28-days curing. It has been observed that 25% replacement of fine aggregates with glass powder is adaptable.
