For a fast developing economy like India, expansion, rehabilitation, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure is crucial and require huge quantities of high quality natural aggregates. Meanwhile, vast amounts of industrial wastes accumulating in the country pose problems related to safe and sustainable disposal. The present study investigated possible utilisation of marble dust, a waste from stone industry, and fly ash, a waste from thermal power stations, as filler materials in open-graded friction course mixes. Open-graded friction course mixes incorporating fly ash, marble dust, and two sources of stone dust as filler fractions were designed and evaluated for mix design properties including draindown, abrasion loss, air void content, and permeability. Morphology of each filler was characterised through scanning electron microscopy. Physicochemical properties of fillers were examined through Rigden voids, German filler test, methylene blue, and hydrometer analysis. Analysis of variance using Fisher multiple comparison procedure was performed to evaluate the effect of filler type on design properties of open-graded friction course mixes. Regression analysis using forward selection technique was performed to identify significant filler characteristics influencing open-graded friction course properties. Results showed that filler type affected open-graded friction course design parameters significantly. Open-graded friction course mixes with marble dust showed promising performance with lowest draindown, and highest durability, air voids, and permeability. Regression analysis identified Rigden void content of filler materials as a major filler characteristic affecting the mix design parameters of open-graded friction course mixes.

Industrial wastes such as marble dust, fly ash, and red mud have progressed as an environmental hazard that needs to be disposed or utilized for minimizing the ecological pollution problems and manufacturing costs. Over the years, there is an increasing interest among researchers in utilizing these industrial wastes as reinforcement for developing economic and lightweight monolithic or hybrid composites. In the same context, this paper presents a comprehensive review on the aspects of tribology and thermal performance of industrial waste such as marble dust, fly ash, and red mud as reinforcement for different monolithic and hybrid composites. The review also describes different applications for industrial waste material reinforced composites. Finally, the paper concludes with authors’ perspective of the review, conclusion summary, and future potential of industrial waste filled composites in different industries for obtaining a sustainable and cleaner environment.

AbstractThe use of waste materials as an additive in soil stabilization has been widespread. This is important in terms of recycling of waste materials and reducing environmental pollution. The objective of this study is to investigate the beneficial reuse of marble dust and fly ash in soil stabilization. Tests were performed on clay soil mixtures amended with marble dust and fly ash. Marble dust was used as an activator due to fly ash being inadequate for self-cementing. Unconfined compressive strength (qu), freeze-thaw, swelling, and California bearing ratio (CBR) tests were conducted to investigate the effect of marble dust and fly ash, curing time, and molding water content on geotechnical parameters. Addition of marble dust and fly ash increased unconfined compressive strength, CBR, and freeze-thaw strength, but these additives decreased swelling potential and grain loss after freeze-thaw. Increasing the curing time results in increased strength of mixtures and decreased grain loss. As a result, this study shows that the geotechnical properties of clay soil are improved with the addition of marble dust and fly ash. This is an economical and environmentally friendly solution.

Construction sector which uses cement in its activities causing a release of CO2 into the atmosphere. Currently, all the sectors are viewing seriously in reducing environmental pollution and hazards. In this scenario, the research in industrial wastes such as fly ash, slag, used foundry sand, marble dust, etc., lead to use in construction industries as sustainable materials (SM), thereby contributing to reduction in environmental pollution. This paper reviewed the usage of these SM in the production of micro-concrete is very less when compared with new age conventional concrete, some of the effects of utilization of these SM in micro-concrete are presented. The quantum of research done in micro-concrete is very less, further studies to be done

Traditional testing methods such as absorption test and permeability test are normally not providing accurate results of nature of concrete and there is a need for another type of test to predict the durability of concrete. In this work, industrial by-product like dolomite, marble dust and fly ash are utilized as fraction of cement replacing with 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% dolomite, 10% fly ash and 10% marble dust by the weight of cement. The study is conducted on mix designed concrete of M30 grade and compared with conventional concrete. The specimens are casted and tested to examine various properties of concrete like compressive strength, split tensile strength, durability and sorptivity. Durability test is done by hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sulphuric acid (H2SO4 ) on dolomite powder, promising results were obtained in the sorptivity test which shows the dense nature of concrete by the usage of dolomite powder.

AbstractMarble dust and fly ash are waste materials and used in various area and industries as an additive material. However, there are still significant amounts of marble dust and fly ash left as waste. Therefore, the reuse of these wastes provides benefits to reduce construction costs and increase sustainability. In this study, a laboratory testing program was conducted on granular soil specimens amended with marble dust and fly ash. The specimens were prepared with granular soil and marble dust-fly ash at different mixing ratios. They were compacted with standard and modified Proctor energies. The specimens were subjected to unconfined compression, California bearing ratio, and freezing-thawing tests. The results of the study show that the strength of a specimen is dependent on the additive ratio, the curing period, compaction energy, and the number of freeze-thaw (F-T) cycles. Generally, unconfined compressive strength (qu) and California bearing ratio (CBR) increased with additive materials, curing times, and high compaction energy. qu decreased and weight loss increased with increasing additives and increasing F-T cycles.
