Abstract |
Because of constantly expanding amounts of waste materials and developing ecological mindfulness, solid waste management is the prime concern in the world. Scarcity of resources and daily increasing demand, the world is increasingly turning to investigate properties of waste material and finding its valuable properties so that it may use as a replacement of these natural resources. The experimental investigation was performed to evaluate the strength and durability properties of high strength concrete M40 and M60 grades of concrete mixes, in which natural sand was partial replaced with Marble dust, Limestone dust and mix of Marble dust & limestone dust (LIMA), with five percentage (0%,25%,50%,75%,100%). Slump test, compression test and flexural strength test were carried out to evaluate the strength properties of concrete. Test results showed that there is increase in compressive strength and flexural strength for both grades of concrete mixes (M40 and M60) with inclusion of Marble dust, Limestone dust and mix of Marble dust & limestone dust (LIMA) up to 50% replacement. Percentage increase of strength is higher in marble dust for both grades of concrete with any percentage replacement |
