Implication

Investigation shows improved compressive and flexural strength in cement mixtures using waste materials, suggesting environmental benefits.

Key Points

This research aims to explore the use of marble dust and waste glass as sustainable alternatives in cement-based composites, enhancing performance and reducing carbon footprint.
Incorporated marble dust as partial cement replacement in paste systems.
Used waste glass as natural sand replacement in mortar.
Evaluated workability, compressive and flexural strengths, porosity, and water absorption after material incorporation.
Analyzed changes in mechanical properties over time, particularly at later ages (>28 days).
Initial workability decreased by up to 48.6% for marble dust and 44.4% for waste glass mixtures.
Compressive strength at early ages dropped by up to 9.2% with marble dust but showed a recovery of up to 3.8% at later ages.
Flexural strength improved by 6.8% for marble dust and 13.8% for waste glass mixtures.
Porosity reduced significantly, with decreases of 30.1% for marble dust and 22.4% for waste glass mixtures.
Water absorption decreased up to 29.5% for marble dust and 21.8% for waste glass, indicating improved material efficiency.
