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.

The amount of marble dust occurred during machining and cutting of marble pieces and fly ash emitted from coal power plant is rather high and these wastes create significant environmental pollution. In fact, these wastes can be utilized in various industrial applications. In this study, various amount of fly ash, marble dust and polyester as base material, methyl ethyl keton peroxid as hardener and cobalt naphtanats as accelerator were used to produce polyester matrix composite material. Mechanical properties of composite materials were investigated and the optimum values were determined. In the first step of the manufacturing of composite material, the amounts of hardener, accelerator and polyester were kept constant and only fly ash/marble dust ratio was changed. The experimental results showed that while fly ash/marble dust ratio up to 1/3 was increased, the strength and hardness of the composite materials increased. Thus, the composite materials with high strength and hardness were produced. The optimum three point bending strength and hardness values were 30.42 N/mm2 and 98 Shore A, respectively. In the second step, the amounts of hardener, accelerator and fly ash/marble dust ratio were kept constant and the effects of the change in the amount of polyester were investigated. It was seen that the highest tree point bending strength and hardness were obtained at polyester/filler (marble dust +fly ash) ratio of 0,38. The optimum three point bending strength and hardness values were 32.78 N/mm2 and 99 Shore A, respectively.

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.

The fine grained soil subgrade in coastal areas has the characteristics of high underground water level and serious salinization, and the lime-fly ash stabilized soil (LFSS) often used as the road base material. In order to study the effect of magnesium salt on the material strength, 5 % MgCl2 solution was used to simulate the groundwater magnesium salt environment, and specimens with 7 d, 14 d, 28 d, 60 d and 90 d curing ages were tested in MgCl2 solution for 1 d, 5 d, 10 d, 15 d or 30 d. A controlled test was also conducted in purified water. Strength mechanism of LFSS was analyzed; SEM test was taken; and the influence mechanism of MgCl2 medium was analyzed. The results showed that MgCl2 medium, immersing time, and curing age have effects on compressive strength of LFSS. More specifically, although the early strength is low, the strength of LFSS maintains slow and steady growth from 7 d to 90 d. Long-term immersing in both MgCl2 solution and purified water will reduce the strength of LFSS, while the strength of specimen immersed in MgCl2 solution will decrease faster. Reactions between MgCl2 and LFSS destroyed the original gels and crystals, causing a negative impact on the strength of LFSS. However, with the test dose of MgCl2, the reduced strength of LFSS can still satisfy the sub-base requirement of second-class highway in China.

This paper reports the results of an experimental work conducted to investigate the effect of curing conditions on the properties of fly ash-based geopolymer bricks prepared by using fly ash as base material and combination of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate as alkaline activator. The experiments were conducted by varying the curing time in the range of 1-24 hours respectively. The specimens cured for a period of 24 hours have presented the highest compressive strength for all ratio of fly ash to sand. For increasing curing time improve compressive strength and decreasing water absorption.

This article aims to investigate the compressive strength variation by the addition of metakaolin as a substitute of fly ash in the fly ash based geopolymer mortar. Five, ten and fifteen percent by weight of fly ash was replaced by highly reactive metakaolin. Two type of fly ashes namely, ASTM class F and ASTM class C were used as a base material for the synthesis of geopolymer mortar. Eight molar sodium hydroxide solution mixed with sodium silicate solution was used as alkaline activator. For optimum geopolymerization, mortar was cured at sixty degree Celsius for twenty four hours duration. Results show different behavior of metakaolin replacement on compressive strength for two different types of fly ash based geopolymer mortar. Improvement in compressive strength was seen by addition of metakaolin in ASTM class F fly ash based geopolymer. On the other hand compressive strength was decreased abruptly in fly ash class C based geopolymer up to certain replacement level.
