Abstract:

Marble dust is used as a replacement for sand in conventional concrete which is highly efficient in increasing the strength without affecting its properties in fresh and hardened state. Concrete mix is adopted for partial replacement of sand with marble dust. Cubes, cylinders and prisms are cast and cured to conduct compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength test at 28 days. Mix design calculation is done as per IS 10262:2009. Marble dusts are added at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. .Polyethylene fiber is added to concrete in 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8% and 1%.. Compressive strength, split tensile strength & flexural strength of the concrete mixtures has been obtained at 28 days. The results of the experimental work showed that replacement of marble dust with polyethylene fiber increase, up to 6% for compressive strength, & up to 8 % for split tensile strength & flexural strength of concrete.

Keywords:

Marble dust, Polyethylene fiber, Compressive strength, Split Tensile Strength, Flexural strength.
