Paper Details

In the past few years use of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is growing tremendous and much research andmodification has been done to produce self compacting concrete which has the desired characteristics. Utilization oftreated and untreated industrial and domestic waste as raw materials in concrete is a latest trend in the world. Thepresent study focuses on utilization of Ground granulated blast-furnace (GGBFS) and waste marble dust in SCC as apartial replacement of cement. This research work represents the process of the development of the concrete for strengthand durability aspects in various proportions varying from 0%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% marble dust as a replacementof cement along with ground granulated blast-furnace slag. The main aim of the study was to identify the best proportionof marble dust with ground granulated blast-furnace slag, which can be replaced with cement to get the desired strengthand durability. The proportion of ground granulated blast-furnace slag was taken as 40% by weight of cement decidedfrom previous studies published in various journals. The effect of marble dust is evaluated by performing the differenttests on the cubes and cylinders to know its compressive strength at different intervals of days, splitting tensile strengthtests. Tests of these specimens were conducted at 7, 28 and 56 days after casting
