Influence of Marble Powder on High Performance Concrete Behavior

Abstract

This paper reports an experimental study of the influence of marble powder used as partial substitute for Portland cement (PC) on the mechanical properties and durability of high performance concretes. The analysis of the experimental results on concrete at 15% content of marble powder with a fineness modulus of 11500 cm 2 /g, in a chloride environment, showed that it contributes positively to the perfection of its mechanical characteristics, its durability with respect to migration of chloride ions and oxygen permeability. On the basis of the experiments performed, it can be concluded that the marble powder is suitable for formulation of high performance concretes (HPC) and their properties are significantly better compared to the reference concrete (RC).

The Utilization of Waste Marble Dust as a Cement Replacement in Air-Cured Mortar

“…The apparent density and compressive strength decrease while the porosity increases.These by-products are present in the environment and contribute to pollution [14,15]. The utilization of marble dust reduces the cost of cement-based material production and also decreases the costs of removing it from the environment [16].The possibility of using waste materials such as marble dust as a partial substitution in the production of mortar and concrete has often been investigated by researchers [5,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29]. Its mechanical properties are the main aspect of the analysis.…”

Pengaruh Tepung Marmer Terhadap Sifat Mekanik Reactive Powder Concrete

“…Penambahan tepung marmer lebih dari 20% terhadap berat semen, mengakibatkan penurunan nilai kuat tekan beton RPC. Penurunan nilai kuat tekan ini diakibatkan adanya pengotor dalam jumlah cukup banyak yang berasal dari tepung marmer (Talah, 2015). Analisis ini dibuktikan dari gambar pemeriksaan struktur mikro seperti disajikan pada Gambar 5 berikut.…”

Effect of rice husk ash and marble powder on mechanical behavior of concrete

“…Marble powder was found suitable as sand replacement material up to 40%. In order to understand the effects of marble powder on the mechanical properties and durability of concrete, Talah, Kharchi, and Chaid (2015) researched that marble powder made the concrete more resistant to chloride ions and oxygen penetration, hence the marble powder-incorporated concrete has better durability than ordinary concrete. Singh et al (2017) used the UMBERTO NXT life cycle analysis software for the comparison of environmental impact on concrete with and without marble powder.…”
