EXPERIMENTAL STUDY ON PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT WITH GLASS POWDER AND MARBLE DUST IN CONCRETE
Authors
Abstract
The current study involves the partial replacement of cement (varying proportion) with marble powder (4, 8%, 12% and 16%) and glass powder (4, 8%, 12% and 16%) to generate sustainable concrete. The Slump Test, Compressive Strength Test, Split Tensile Strength Test and Flexural Strength Test were carried out and the results were collected. The outcome of the current work is that the waste material marble powder and glass powder help in increasing the compressive strength by approximately 8%, split tensile strength by 18% and flexural strength by 9%. Therefore, it is recommended that 8 to 12% of glass powder with 8 to 12% of marble powder can be used as an effective replacement material for cement in concrete mix to attain improved strength parameters.
