Study on Marble Powder as Partial Replacement of Cement in Concrete
Journal Title: GRD Journal for Engineering - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Marble powder has been identified as a low costing material with the potential to redress the problem. The specimen has been prepared and tested for the strength with partial replacement of marble powder and cement in concrete The Compressive strength, Split Tensile strength, Flexural strength and Modulus of elasticity of Concrete can be increased with addition of marble powder to 0%,5%,10%,15%,20% and 25% replace by weight of cement. Tests are conducted on cubes and cylinders to test the strength of concrete with the time periods of 7th, 14th and 28th days. The production of cheaper and more durable concrete using this marble powder can solve to some extent the ecological and environmental problems. This paper provides a scope for more research which is required to design consistent and durable concrete with this powder.
