| dc.description.abstract | Disposal of solid waste materials is a great concern in cities all around the world. Some
of these waste materials are not biodegradable, which often leads to disposal crises and
environmental pollution. Many efforts are being made for the recycling of different types
of solid wastes to utilize them in the production of various construction materials. The
granite & marble industries produce vast amounts of by-product rock waste and as a
result, many residential and agricultural areas are settled over the landfills which are
basically composed of these waste materials.
This paper reveals the use of polished granite and marble waste from discarded tiles as a
partial replacement for coarse aggregates in cement concrete. It was observed that the
incorporation of polished granite and marble waste in while better results were observed
for water absorption, Unit weight, F.M, Compressive strength and water permeability. By
comparing the compressive strength between granite and marble when 5% replacement
of marble (by weight) gives maximum compressive strength than 0%, 10%, and 20%
replacement (by weight) And also for 20% replacement of granite (by weight) gives
maximum compressive strength than 0%, 5% and 10% replacement (by weight). Could
be recommended for non-structural applications like pavement, footpaths, drainage line
etc.
The main objective of this paper is to assess the potential of using marble and granite
waste as a replacement of coarse aggregates of concrete mixes. | en_US |
