Abstract:
This paper is the study related to significant developments regarding performance and applications of Marble dust based concrete. With the increase in population and advancement of construction technology the use of concrete has increased manifold in the recent years. This may lead to the depletion of natural resources, presently on an average about 45-50 metric tonnes of marble is cut in a day in medium scale unit, which leads to about huge quantity of marble dust. The disposal of marble dust is a serious threat to environment, so there is a strong need to utilize this solid waste as an alternative material to lessen the burden of this pollutant on environment. The present study was therefore planned to explore the possibility of usage of waste marble powder (WMP) as partial replacement of sand for production of concrete.
