Abstract
The main objective of this research is to investigate the performance of concretes contained marble dust as a cement replacement. Replacement of marble dust different percentage as 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25% of marble dust as partial replacement of cement with M-25 grade of concrete age of concrete at 7, 14, 28 and 56 days. The results of the study, samples of concrete with 0 to 15% marble dust replacement have reached optimum strength. Finally Showed that concrete containing marble dust 0 to 15% showed the highest amount of compressive strength, and split tensile strength of concrete. To assess the corrosion and durability characteristics of marble dust concrete Acid and alkalinity resistance test, and Initial surface absorption test was performed. The results show that the optimum replacement of marble dust with cement was 15%. Up to 15% replacement, it is possible to gain the same strength as conventional concrete. Beyond 15% replacement the strength results following a decreasing trend. Moreover, initial surface absorption increases with an increase in replacement levels. It was also found that the Acid and alkalinity resistance is increasing with an increasing percentage of marble dust in concrete. Further studies can be carried out as this study only concludes that there is an increase in strength and durability of concrete up to 15% replacement of cement by the marble powder.
