Partial replacement of cement using marble powder (MP) in concrete Department:Civil Engineering By: captainonuh1414 Project ID: 7670 Rating: (5.0) votes: 1 Price:₦3000 Get the Complete MaterialAbstractThe aim of this project is to replace cement using marble powder as a binder in concrete and to determine its effect on the characteristics and strength of concrete. Quality tests such as specific gravity for fine, coarse and marble powder were 2.50, 2.5, and 2.63 respectively. Fine aggregate is graded as zone 1 of the IS383.1970. The aggregate impact value and crushing value were obtained to be 22.7%, and 19.05% respectively. The result of consistency shows that at 10%,6.5mm improvement compared to the control. For soundness at 10%, 1.0mm, for initial and final setting time at 10%, 134mins and 274mins compared to control. Slump test was improved by 10% compared to the control, respective heights are 297mm, 298mm, 298.2mm, 298.8mm and 298.8mm. water absorption test value was the compressive test desirable strength was obtained at 10%, 31.67N/mm2 compared to control28.33N/mm2 and at 40%, 13.33N/mm the split tensile strength for grade M25 had shown 10% improvement compared to control and at 40%(0%4.14,10%4.24and40%2.76N/mm2). Therefore, the finding of this project work shows that compressive strength and split tensile test of concrete increases with increasing days of curing and reduce in strength as the result of increasing the percentage of marble powder added to the mixture from 10% to 40% optimum strength was obtained at 10%replacement of cement with marble powder. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Civil Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Comparing the compressive strength of concrete made with sand as fine aggregate and with chipping dust as fine aggregate»The comparative study of the compressive strength of concrete made with granite to that made with river round stone (pebble) and local stone»The use of computer in civil engineering»Importance of timber in civil engineering construction»Construction and Installation of a Panel Door»Construction of wardrobe key study on wood work»Effect of street trading on traffic performance and control»Assessment of different types of foundation and their mode of construction»Comparison of soil bearing capacity of different locations in Imo state»Investigation into the suitability of sand and gravel materials commonly used in building construction»Investigating the effect of partial replacement of cement with eggshell powder in concrete production»An investigation in to the causes of cracks in building and possible solutions - a case study of Kukar Gesa community in Katsina metropolis»Suitability of available laterite material in Ilorin East local government area for road construction»Determination of the causes, effects of environmental pollution and its possible control within Kwara and Osun state»Model for prediction of rainfall intensity in Lagos
