Experimental Study in Properties of Concrete Using Replacement of Cement with Marble Dust in Addition to Carbon Fiber

EasyChair Preprint 12149

Abstract

Concrete, a cornerstone of construction, faces sustainability challenges due to its heavy reliance on cement. This study explores innovative methods to improve concrete properties while addressing environmental concerns. By incorporating marble dust as a partial cement replacement and adding carbon fiber, this research investigates their combined impact on concrete performance. Focusing on M65 and M75 grade mixtures, various combinations of marble dust and carbon fiber were tested. Through rigorous experimentation, mechanical and durability properties of concrete specimens were evaluated. Compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths, as well as water absorption and chloride ion permeability, were among the key parameters examined. Results demonstrate significant enhancements in concrete performance. Increased mechanical strength and improved durability indicate the effectiveness of marble dust and carbon fiber additives. These findings suggest promising applications in sustainable and high-performance construction, fostering innovation in the built environment. In conclusion, integrating marble dust and carbon fiber offers a sustainable approach to concrete production. Further research is needed to optimize mix designs and assess long-term performance, advancing the utilization of environmentally friendly materials in construction.
