Effect of waste marble dust content as filler on properties of self-compacting concrete
TLDR
In this article, the effect of waste marble dust (MD) usage as filler material on capillarity properties of self-compact concrete (SCC) is investigated. And the results showed that the workability of fresh SCC has not been affected up to 200 kg/m3 MD content.About:

Characterization of marble powder for its use in mortar and concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, a powder obtained as a byproduct of marble sawing and shaping was characterized from a chemical and physical point of view in order to use it as mineral addition for mortars and concretes, especially for self-compacting concrete.

Effects of the usage of diatomite and waste marble powder as partial replacement of cement on the mechanical properties of concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the procedures and results of a laboratory investigation of mechanical properties carried out on the concrete specimens containing diatomite and WMP as partial replacement of cement in concrete.

Mechanical and dynamic properties of self-compacting crumb rubber modified concrete
Khalid B. Najim,Matthew R. Hall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the mechanical and dynamic properties of self-compacting rubberized concrete (SCRC) were experimentally investigated, where crumb rubber from scrap tyres was used as a partial replacement for Fine Aggregate, Coarse Aggregate (CA), and combined Fine and Coarse aggregate (FCA) at 5, 10, and 15-wt% proportions.

TL;DR: In this article, the paving blocks based on two cement types were used to replace aggregate with waste marble, and physical and mechanical tests were performed on blocks so produced, and the cement type turns out to be an important factor.

Limestone filler cement in low w/c concrete: A rational use of energy
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of limestone filler on the degree of hydration, the volume of hydrating products, and the optimal replacement of limestone filling in cement pastes at different w/cm ratios (0.25-0.50) were investigated by using a quadratic statistical model.

Self-compacting concrete: An analysis of 11 years of case studies
TL;DR: In this article, case studies of applications of self-compacting concrete (SCC) have been analysed, and the results of the analysis of the above factors are given in statistical terms, such as ranges, frequencies, cumulative distributions, medians and deciles.

A review of the hardened mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete
TL;DR: In this article, more than 70 recent studies on the hardened mechanical properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) have been analysed and correlated to produce comparisons with the properties of equivalent strength normally vibrated concrete (NVC) The significant scatter obtained in much of the data is a consequence of the wide range of materials and mixes used for SCC.

Influence of limestone powder used as filler in SCC on hydration and microstructure of cement pastes
TL;DR: In this article, the microstructural properties of self-compacting concrete (SCCP) are compared with high performance concrete (HPCP) and traditional concrete (TCP) in terms of porosity, pore size distribution and phase distribution.

The durability characteristics of high performance concrete: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that high-performance concrete (HPC) is usually more durable than ordinary concrete not only because they are less porous, but also because their capillary and pore networks are somewhat disconnected due to the development of self-desiccation.
