Dr.D.Jayganesh 1Assistant Professor, Department of Civil Engineering, University college of Engineering, Ramanathapuram ,

Anna University, Tamilnadu, India. ____________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract- The main objective of waste management system is to maximize economic benefits and at the same time protection of the environment. Marble is an igneous rock which is widely used as construction material in different forms. Marble industries produce lot of dust and waste materials. Dumping of brick dust and other waste brick particles, flakes etc., not only occupy land but also create environmental problems. If this material is possible to be used for partial cement replacement it is of benefit both economically and environmentally. The effect on strength properties of concrete in replacing some portion of cement by Marble fines and Brick dust in M20 grade concrete. The research work carried out included an experimental investigation on strength properties of concrete made with 30% ,35%, 40%of marble fines and same percentage brick dust replace the cement of less than 90 micron particle size. The experimental work was carried o of river sand as fine aggregate in concrete. Test is also carried out in Graded concrete using of 20 mm coarse aggregate used. The tests were carried out to find the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength on specimens. Results showed that replacement of cement by Brick dust gives high strength in compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and flexural strength.

Concrete may seem like a static object. However, because of the chemical nature of the material, concrete undergoes a considerable amount of cracks especially during its early ages. Most of the cracks occur within the paste fraction of the concrete due to water lost to the environment or through chemical reactions. Aggregate can contribute to the cracks depending upon its composition and physical properties. Cracks in concrete have many causes. Their significance depends on the type of structure, as well as the nature of the cracking. Growing interest from researchers in recent years and is becoming common practice. The reasons for the motivation are, the exhaustion of the natural resources, the conservation of not renewable resources, improvement of the population health and security and preoccupation with environmental matters. The alternative raw materials can also contribute to diversify the offer of raw materials in the production of concrete and reduce the costs in a building. Marble is a natural hard igneous rock formation of visibly crystalline texture. It is especially used for building and monuments. Brick dust is a waste product obtained from different brick kilns and tile factories. Replacing cement with brick dust could reduce co2 emission, enhance conservation of natural resources, and decrease the cost of waste disposal sites. In Rajasthan, marble and brick industries have been increased especially in lathur , District in the last years, consequently the volume of residue disposed in the decant lagoons or landfills increased, which results environment problems. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to characterize and evaluate the effect of incorporation of marble and brick dust wastes up to 65 wt. % into cement used for concrete manufacturing. The present study involves addition of marble fines, Brick dust, and for conventional concrete. Therefore, the study had several typical objectives.

• The first aim was to estimate an optimal composition of concrete mixtures with respect to all operating conditions. • The other objective of this work was to determine under what conditions the Brick dust in conjunction with marble

fines, Brick dust and increasing the of concrete when these are used as partial replacement materials. • Further, to determine the degree of strength improvement in concrete obtained with the addition of marble fines and

Brick dust with concrete. 2 METHODOLOGY

• The following methodology has been followed in this experimental investigation. • Preliminary tests on cement fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, marble and Brick dust. • Mix design for M20 concrete. • Mix proportion for Concrete by using the marble fines and Brick dust. • Casting of Cubes & determination of Compressive strength of design mixes. • Casting of Cylinders & determination of Split tensile strength of design mixes.



• Casting of Prism beams & determination of Flexural strength of design mixes.

3 EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION This experimental investigation was aimed to introduce high strength concrete by adding the marble fines and Brick dust together with in concrete. Research carried out worldwide has clearly established that suitable addition or replacement of any concrete materials in concrete would lead to improvement in strength of concrete. Compressive Strength Test Compressive strength test is the most common test conducted on concrete, because it is easy to perform and most of the desirable characteristic properties of concrete are quantitatively related to its compressive strength. Compressive strength was determined by using Compression Testing Machine (CTM) of 3000 kN capacity. The compressive strength of concrete was tested using 150 mm X 150 mm X 150 mm cube specimens. The test was carried out by placing a specimen between the loading surfaces of a CTM and the load was applied until the specimen fails. Three test specimens were cast and used to measure the compressive strength for each test conditions and average value was considered. Split Tensile Strength Test Knowledge of tensile strength of concrete is of great importance. Split tensile strength was determined using Compression Testing Machine (CTM) of 3000 kN capacity. The split tensile strength of concrete was tested using 150 mm X 300 mm cylinder specimens. The test was carried out by placing a specimen between the loading surfaces of a CTM and the load was applied until the failure of the specimen. Three test specimens were cast and used to measure the split tensile strength for each test conditions and average value was considered. Flexural Strength Test Flexural strength is a measurement that indicates the resistance of a material to deformation when placed under a load. The values needed to calculate flexural strength are measured by experimentation, with 100 X 100 X 500 mm rectangular samples of the material placed under load in a single point testing setup. Three test specimens were cast and used to measure the Flexural strength for each test conditions and average value was considered.

4 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

WORKABILITY OF CONCRETE The variation in slump values for different concrete mixes was found to be nominal when compared to the concrete mix. It is also shown that the slump value increases with the increase in percentage of Brick dust in the concrete mix. However, concrete mixes with Brick dust produced higher slump when compared to the mix with river sand. This improved workability for the mix might be due to the presence of the more quantity of fine Brick dust particles.
