Sustainable Concrete Solutions: Assessing the Effects of Marble Dust Substitution on Concrete Properties

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of partial replacement of cement with marble dust on the strength and durability properties of concrete. With the rise in environmental awareness, utilizing industrial by-products like marble dust for sustainable construction practices has gained attention. Concrete specimens were prepared with various percentages of marble dust replacing cement, and were tested for compressive strength, tensile strength, and durability. The results indicate that marble dust can improve certain concrete properties while contributing to environmental sustainability.
