This article was focused on the influence of the micronized waste marble powder on mechanical properties of cement pastes. Resulting blended cement was composed of Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R and micronized marble powder with different percentage amounts (0 wt. %, 5 wt. %, 10 wt. % and 15 wt. %). Testing was carried at prismatic samples of dimension 40 × 40 × 160 mm. The investigated mechanical properties were dynamic modulus of elasticity, dynamic shear modulus, flexural strength and compressive strength for the 28 days old samples. The results obtained from these materials were compared with reference material.

This article focus on “blended cement”. The blended cement was created by using waste marble powder (WMP) as a partial replacement for cement. We investigated the influence of WMP on the developing of the dynamic modulus of elasticity and the dynamic shear modulus in time. Four different cement composites with WMP as a partial replacement for cement were studied (5, 10, 15 and 50 wt. %) together with reference samples. Dynamic modulus of elasticity was monitored during the first 377 days since manufacture by use of non-destructive testing (resonance method). The results showed that WMP in a small amount had a no effect on the dynamic modulus of elasticity and the dynamic shear modulus.

For production of the samples were used several types of aggregate: the standard sand from Zalezlice, the standard sand from Gaza, waste crushed limestone, waste marble sludge and waste micronized marble powder. The Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R produced in Radotín was used as binder. Testing was carried at prismatic samples of dimension 40 × 40 × 160 mm. Another approach than previously used solutions consists primarily in micronization marble sludge with a high-speed mill, this modified micronized filler may also an impact on the final properties of composite materials based on cement. The micronized powder may have binding properties that are activated in this way. Dynamic modulus of elasticity, dynamic shear modulus, flexural strength and compressive strength were determined for the 28 days old samples.

This paper presents the effect of nanosilica (NS) on compressive strength and microstructure of cement paste containing high volume slag and high volume slag-fly ash blend as partial replacement of ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Results show that high volume slag (HVS) cement paste containing 60% slag exhibited about 4% higher compressive strength than control cement paste, while the HVS cement paste containing 70% slag maintained the similar compressive strength to control cement paste. However, about 9% and 37% reduction in compressive strength in HVS cement pastes is observed due to use of 80% and 90% slag, respectively. The high volume slag-fly ash (HVSFA) cement pastes containing total slag and fly ash content of 60% exhibited about 5%-16% higher compressive strength than control cement paste. However, significant reduction in compressive strength is observed in higher slag-fly ash blends with increasing in fly ash contents. Results also show that the addition of 1-4% NS improves the compressive strength of HVS cement paste containing 70% slag by about 9-24%. However, at higher slag contents of 80% and 90% this improvement is even higher e.g. 11-29% and 17-41%, respectively. The NS addition also improves the compressive strength by about 1-59% and 5-21% in high volume slag-fly ash cement pastes containing 21% fly ash+49%slag and 24% fly ash+56%slag, respectively. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results confirm the reduction of calcium hydroxide (CH) in HVS/HVSFA pastes containing NS indicating the formation of additional calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) gels in the system. By combining slag, fly ash and NS in high volumes e.g. 70-80%, the carbon footprint of cement paste is reduced by 66-76% while maintains the similar compressive strength of control cement paste. Keywords: high volume slag, nanosilica, compressive strength, TGA, high volume slag-fly ash blend, CO2 emission.

This paper deals with the use of waste materials from processing of stone in the construction industry. The tested mixtures consisted of Portland cement CEM I 42.5 R, micronized waste marble powder and crushed waste limestone. The article examines the effect of varying the amount of waste on the mechanical properties of the cement composite. At first, samples were tested non-destructively for determine the dynamic modulus of elasticity and then were tested destructively for determine tensile bending and compressive strength.

The paper deals with the use of fly ash in cement and concrete. Fly ash, primarily waste material, can be used as a binder because of pozzolanic properties. This fact positively influences the economic and ecological part of the construction. At present, also in the context of higher fire protection requirements fly ash, it is mentioned as a possible material for the protection of structures from fire. The article presents and discusses the results of destructive tests of tensile strength and compressive strength and non-destructive verification of dynamic modulus of elasticity of cement pastes with fly ash after high temperature load. The test samples were almost six years old.


Today’s world is always leads to development in technology as well as the economic growth though sometime these will affect the environment badly. That’s why world environmental commission coined the termed called sustainable development where development takes place without hampering the others’ needs. Concrete industry is rapidly growing industry in India which consumes lots of natural resources during the production of concrete. Here Stone dust is used as a sustainable material in place of sand partially. M25 grade of concrete has been chosen for the experiments. Different mechanical properties of concrete like compressive strength, Split tensile, flexural strength etc. and Microstructural features like SEM, EDX have been included in this study. Compressive Strength and flexural strength test results shown the increase in the strength. Sulphate Resistance Properties have been tested by curing the cubes in the MgSO4 solution and increase in weight has been observed. Similarities are found in the SEM pictures

Wood is one kind of natural renewable eco-material. Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) is an engineered wood product made from veneers glued together with parallelly oriented grains under heat and pressure. This paper designed Poplar LVL production experiments under different process conditions, and measured the mechanical properties of poplar LVL specimens under different experimental conditions. In this study, grey theory was used to analyze the influences of different production processes on the mechanical properties, such as press duration, press temperature, pressure and adhesive spread. The results showed that, it is feasible that grey theory is used to analyze the influence level of production technology of poplar LVL on the mechanical properties. So this paper offered a new method to analyze and design the production technology of LVL.
