Abstract
Leaving the waste materials to the environment directly can cause environmental problems. Waste reuse was therefore emphasized. Waste can be used to produce new products or can be used as additives so that natural resources are used more efficiently and protect the environment from waste deposits. The marble stone industry generates both solid waste and stone slurry, which will adversely affect the environment. This study focuses on the use of local marble powder waste in concrete and enhances the concrete compressive strength more economically by partial replacement of the weight of cement by marble powder with 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% of cement weight. The concrete mixture was designed at a compression strength of 50 MPa after 28 days. The water/cement ratio (0.48) remained constant. Concrete samples (cubes) were tested for compressive strength after 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after proper curing. The fineness of hydraulic, normal consistency, and initial and final setting time of cement by marble powder of 0, 2.5, 5, 7.5, and 10% of cement weight were tested. The study, which was carried out under controlled laboratory conditions, indicates that a high level of marble powder in the concretes decreases the early and later ages strength development of marble powder significantly. Only concrete with 2.5% marble powder, which gives compressive strength very close to the 0% marble powder concrete. The use of this type of marble powder resulting from the process of cutting marble as a partial replacement of cement in concrete will not benefit cement industry unless another source of good marble waste powder is found.
