Performance of Self Compacting Concrete using Marble Cutting Slurry Waste and Silica Fume
Authors
Abstract
Concrete is the most important in the construction structure. This material mixture is a mixture of fine and coarse aggregate, cement, water and additives. It is the most used material in building improvement, and then MCSW (Marble Cutting Slurry Waste) is treated as a reinforcing material. The treatment of MCSW has made great progress and is the main cause of environmental and health problems. MCSW is very fine powder content and it may be utilized an addition with concrete. The aim of this study was to produce economical and environmentally friendly high-strength self-destruct concrete (HSSCC) concrete using MCSW and Silica fume (SF). This operation was a casting SCC test arranged with 5 different weights (MCSW-5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and continuously
15% of SF) added to water. This investigation was done on the water – cement ratio 0.40. Cube-150 * 150 * 150mm, were prepared for testing after 28 days and the natural water process was used in the control group. Fresh concrete is tested on SCC concrete to check the fluidity and workability of the concrete. Results are acquired by the tests like Compressive strength quality at an age of 28th day subsequent to curing.
