“…In addition to lime, cement and bitumen, industrial waste materials such as fly ash, silica fume and blast furnace stag have been used as additives in soil stabilisation for the last two decades. Natural stone waste such as waste marble and granite consisting of particles smaller than 100 microns (Gürer et al 2004;Sarısoy 2010) can now be used as soil stabilisers, concrete aggregates and fill materials for road building and the construction sector is the largest and most important sector in which natural stone waste can be used (Karaca et al 2012). Investigating the use of waste obtained from natural stone plants in soil stabilisation and the impacts of different types of waste on soil will help determine the most economic and suitable waste to be used for each soil type.…”

For the countries with a developed stone industry the waste generated in the natural stone processing plants pose environmental and economic problems. The utilisation of stone waste in various areas is still under research. In addition, there are only a limited number of studies concerning the use of stone waste obtained from processing plants in the stabilisation of clayey soil. Furthermore, none of the studies in the literature investigated the effect of the characteristics of the stone on the stabilisation of the soil. This is the first study that compares the efficiency of the waste calcitic marble, dolomitic marble and granite powder as additives for the stabilisation of clayey soil. Artificial soil samples were prepared in the laboratory using bentonite and kaolinite. Natural stone waste powder was added to the soil samples at different percentages, and the index and compaction parameters of the stabilised soil were analysed. The results showed that the types of waste powder used in this study, like lime, could be used as stabilisers. As the percentage of additives increased, the plasticity index of the clayey soil decreased and the physical properties of the soil changed from clay to silt. In terms of compaction parameters, the use of all types of natural waste powder in the study resulted in a decrease in the optimum water content and an increase in the maximum dry unit weight. The lowest optimum water content and the highest maximum dry unit weight were obtained from the dolomitic marble powder.

“…Over the time, it may also result in styrenic pollution (Karaca et al, 2012). Karaca et al (2012) suggested that the construction industry can effectively recycle plant waste as aggregate or road and sea filling. It was recommended that the construction industry may recycle valvestones and paladians as M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 10 fillers and aggregates.…”

“…The sludge generated by diamond blades or gang saws amounts to several millions tonnes worldwide annually. Despite an intensive search for potential industrial applications of this waste as an additive in concrete (Almeida et al 2007a, b) and/or a raw material for synthesis of refractories (Cheng et al 2002) or other materials (Cheng & Hsu 2006), residual sludge from dimension stone processing is still treated as waste (Barrientos et al 2010) that must be sent to landfill (Karaca et al 2012). Dino et al (2015) argue that, owing to the effort to minimize waste production during the processing of valuable raw materials, residual sludge from dimension stone processing can be used in several interesting applications such as landfill proofing or cover, filler for civil engineering works or as artificial soil for the rehabilitation of disused quarries, which is an excellent application of the 'cradle-to-cradle' principle.…”

Inorganic raw materials, here termed geomaterials, derived from the Earth's crust and used in construction after appropriate processing make a genetically and functionally varied group of mineral resources. Although their basic functions have remained almost unchanged for centuries, some new attributes, meanings and impacts on society are still emerging. Geomaterials for construction were among the first mineral raw materials exploited, processed and used by man. They helped in the development of technological and artistic skills of humankind. Accessibility, workability and serviceability are considered here as their main functional attributes, being connected with man's skills to find their occurrence, extract and process them, and then use them in the correct way. However, serviceability is a more complex functional attribute as it also encompasses durability of a material in construction. Durability, that is the ability to withstand the action of weathering/decay processes, is an expression of the dynamic interactions between material and the surrounding environment encompassing not only gradual adaptation of materials to current environmental conditions, but also interactions between materials in construction, the history of maintenance/conservation of the structure and the impact of a polluted environment. In the modern world, sustainable use of raw materials, specifically those exploited in the largest volumes such as geomaterials for construction, raises questions of reducing extraction of primary resources and thus minimizing impacts on natural systems, and also employment of materials and technologies to produce less emission of deleterious substances in to the atmosphere. Use of secondary materials such as waste produced during extraction of primary raw materials and/or re-use of existing structural elements and re-or down-cycling can be considered as modern approaches to reducing the pressure on primary resources.
