“…It will act as an inert and filler material rather than a pozzolanic one. Also, Khodabakhshian et al [37] and Omar et al [38] indicate also that marble powder is an inert or quasi-inert material, being noncementitious from hydraulic points of view.…”

Marble has been commonly used as a building material since ancient times. e disposal of waste materials from the marble industry, consisting of sludge that is composed of powder mixed with water, is one of the current worldwide environmental problems. is experimental study aims to valorize marble powder, which is achieved by grinding the sludge as filler added to the cementitious matrix of self-compacting concrete (SCC). e main purpose of this work is to evaluate the marble filler effects on the rheology in the fresh state and on the hardened properties of SCCs compared to those of limestone filler. To this end, two SCCs, SCCM and SCCL, manufactured using marble powder and limestone filler, respectively, were prepared and tested. e fresh properties of the two SCCs' mixtures were determined by slump flow, L-box, V-funnel, sieve stability, bulk density, and air content. Tests on hardened SCCs included compressive strength, homogeneity, and quality in terms of ultrasonic pulse velocity and durability against carbonation and water penetration. In addition, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to analyze the specimens.

“…LSP has been employed in the construction industry since eras, and it is still divulging contemporary applications owing to its versatility. It is a byproduct of aggregate formation from rocks and a prime source of calcium oxide (CaO) provision in the cement manufacturing industry [26]. Moreover, it has been investigated as secondary raw material (SRM) in the cementitious systems for dense microstructure and imparting durability as a cement and sand replacement for fabricating a sustainable concrete to shrink CO 2 footprints [26][27][28].…”

Furthermore, LSP is an inert media and acts as a filler, but it reacts with aluminates phases to form carboaluminates and influence the hydration rates of cementitious systems [29].…”

For preserving concrete structures and hindering ingress of chemicals through cracks and fissures, repair is inevitable. Microbial calcite precipitation is an intrinsic approach for crack rectification and emulating way of sustainability for reducing anthropogenic greenhouse gases (GHGs) along with conserving the natural resources. In this study,Bacillus subtilisstrain is applied for intrinsic repair of concrete’s cracks because of its high pH endurance and capability of sporulation. For prolonged survival of microorganisms, immobilization technique was employed.B. subtiliswas immobilized through limestone powder (LSP) before adding into cement matrix. Self-healing proficiency ofB. subtiliswas deliberated in terms of mechanical strength regain after cracking at 3, 7, 14, and 28 days. To examine the microstructure and characterization of healing precipitate, micrographical (field emission scanning electron microscopy), chemical (energy dispersive X-ray), and thermal (thermogravimetric analysis) analyses were performed after the healing period of 28 days. The results revealed evident signs of calcite precipitation in nano-/microcracks subsequent to microbial activity. Furthermore, immobilized LSP improved the compressive strength of the analyzed formulations.

“…The cheapest and the easiest way of getting substitute for natural sand is obtained from manufactured sand from aggregate quarries known as limestone. Concrete made with limestone filler as replacement of natural sand in concrete was investigated by Omar M. Omar et al [1] measuring its compressive strength, tensile strength, permeability and modulus of rupture. Concrete using various combinations of manufactured sand and quarry dust as complete or partial replacement for conventional river sand was investigated by a group of researchers such as Joseph O. Ukpata et al [2], Rana Burhan Abdurrahman Alshahwany [3] and A. Jayaraman and V. Senthil kumar [4].…”

Abstract. This study reports the experimental work undertaken to investigate the optimum grading of limestone to be used in concrete mixes. 36 concrete cubes were prepared for testing. Four different Fineness Moduli and grading were tested 2.4, 2.6, 2.92 and 3. For all tests, the cubes were left in curing until testing at the age of 3, 7 and 28 days respectively. Samples were loaded to failure and the average compressive strength was used for comparison purposes. Flow table test has been performed on the fresh concrete directly after mixing to measure workability and the average of the maximum concrete spread parallel to the two edges of the table was recorded. Results revealed that the optimum Fineness Modulus for the limestone to be used as fine aggregate in the concrete mix to get maximum compressive strength is 2.78. The flow table tests revealed an increment in the workability of fresh concrete with higher Fineness Modulus of limestone used in the concrete mix as fine aggregate. The workability of the optimum Fineness Modulus, 2.78, was found to be 412 mm which is a mix with considerable workability. An ideal grading has been recommended in this research study and checked to match the ASTM grading requirements for fine aggregate.
