Research demonstrates the impact of replacing sand with marble and quarry dust on concrete properties, showing potential for sustainable construction.
The most common building material is concrete mixture. It is adaptable and has desirable engineering qualities that allow it to be produced using reasonably priced components and moulded into any shape. Sand carrying issues are a daily occurrence in developing nations like India. The demand for sand is growing daily, and it is currently made from crushed rock that has been properly graded for use as a fine aggregate. In this sense, construction companies face intense pressure to locate substitute natural sand. The current focus is on the potential substitution of equally viable resources, like marble dust and quarry dust, for fine aggregates. The current study falls under the heading of introducing the innovative idea of using comparable elements from industrial waste dumps to partially or possibly completely replace the traditional concrete ingredients. The mechanical and physical properties of marble dust and quarry dust were determined for different amounts from 20% to 80% replacement with sand in terms of workability, flexural strength, split tensile strength, and compressive strength in the first stage as a preliminary inquiry.
