“…10, the flexural strengths of cement blended with LS indicated a better strength gain in comparison with mixing concrete with UFG. This may be attributed to the effect of calcium carbonate within LS powder which prompts growth in the hydration process that leads to further increases in concrete strength [20]. Similar results were reported by Olubajo [21] for the flexural strength achieved by the replacement of cement by limestone.…”

-This research aims to investigate the effect of introducing different mineral admixtures on the mechanical properties of concrete. The research is focused on optimizing the properties of fresh and hardened concrete, looking in particular at how factors such as slump, unit weight, air entrancement, compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity are affected by different mineral admixtures in a concrete mix. Different mineral admixtures are used, namely silica fume, limestone and ultra-fine gypsum, and for the tests each mineral admixture replaced 25 % of the cement. The paper also compares the performance of the fresh and hardened properties of concrete.

“…The greater specific surface area of marble powder had a strong contribution to the mechanical strength by by different ways as delineated by several investigators. Dhanalaxmi and Nirmalkumar [28] stated that additional surface area can produce more nucleation sites for cement hydration products which are responsible for grout strength. Bentz et al [29] studied limestone and silica powder as cement replacements and showed that limestone and silica surfaces were active sites for nucleation and growth of cement hydration products, while the limestone also led to the formation of carboaluminate hydration products.…”

The usability of two environmentally important waste materials in cementitious fine grout production was investigated as partial replacement materials. The study is very important in reducing carbon footprint and cost in construction industry, and improving cement properties. The influence of replacement materials on flowability and strength was investigated by rheological and compressive strength tests. With marble powder replacement, a compressive strength of 26 MPa was achieved, which was fairly above the minimum compressive strength of 14 MPa. The flowability and strength of the mixes were heavily dependent on W/C ratio and affected by type and amount of replacement materials. Increasing W/C ratio and fly ash amount increased flowability, but inversely affected strength of the grouts. On the other hand, marble powder was found to increase the strength to a large extent, but decreased the flowability. The highest increase of 24 % and the lowest increase of 5.3 % on average were achieved with 10 % fly ash and 20 % marble powder replaced mixes, respectively. The rheology data, obtained in a wide shear stress-shear rate range, were found very useful in explaining flowability as well as setting behavior (rate) of grout mixes.

“…In recent years, using marble dust in concrete production is very common [13,21,28]. Marble dust can be used as a mineral admixture to replace Portland cement to enhance the early compressive and the flexural strength of mortar [29][30][31]. The addition of calcium carbonate which exists in marble dust in the cement mixture provides better particle packing which can reduce the porosity of cement mixtures [32].…”

The use of waste materials in soil stabilization is very important in terms of recycling of waste materials and reducing environmental pollution. The aim of this study is to investigate the effective use of waste marble dust, WMD in deep soil mixing, which is one of the ground improvement techniques used for problematic soils. In this study, loose sand was mixed with cement and different proportions of WMD. First, soil-binder mixtures were formed by using cement as a binder material and then cement was replaced by different percentages of WMD. Series of tests were performed to evaluate the effect of WMD on the mechanical properties of the mixtures, such as unconfined compressive strength, stress-strain behavior, toughness, modulus of elasticity and resilient modulus. Ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) test was also carried out on the specimens. The specimens were also examined under a microscope to investigate the pore spaces and surface bonds. In addition, setting time and bulk density of the specimens were studied. The optimum replacement percentage of WMD was found to be (10) at a binder-soil ratio of (20). Reuse of WMD in deep soil mixing is promising and will provide significant cost saving and environmental protection.
