Durability Performance of Binary and Ternary Blend Self Compacting Concrete using Waste Marble Powder and Lime Powder

Abstract

Investigation practicing waste marble powder and lime powder as cement supplements in Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has obtained positive outcomes newly. In this research, waste marble powder (MW) and waste lime powder (LW) with the different combinations used in the design of SCC by replacement of cement 0, 10, 15 and 20%. In addition, 5% H2SO4 and 5% MgSO4 practiced for durability study and evaluate the effect of Sulfate attack and acid attack on filler content of mix after 28, 56, and 90 days curing of SCC sample. The results of the visual assessment and weight loss revealed that the increase in the amount of LW would enhance the performance of concrete, while the inclusion of LW and MW in SCC has shown positive results in terms of resistance against acid and sulfate attack. The mixtures with ternary binders of OPC, MW, and LW experienced the lowest strength loss after exposure to high concentrations of sulfate attack compared to unblended SCC.
