Synopsis

Due to growth in construction industry and demand of Concrete, there is a scarcity of the different resources, used in making concrete. So in my book, I aim to understand and examine the appropriate material and percentage of waste materials to be used as a replacement of the same in concrete. As primarily, waste marble has been used as a replacement of cement and marble sand as a replacement of sand. M30 mix of self-compaction concrete was opted for experimental purpose. Three different tests were conducted on fresh concrete and two tests on cured concrete cubes to understand its strength, for durability Acid and alkaline curing was opted. Finally, different results of all the tests will guide me to identify the appropriate percentage use of waste marble dust and marble sand for achieving the best result.
