Evaluation of strength and durability of lean mortar mixes containing marble waste
TLDR
In this article, the suitability of marble waste as a fine aggregate in lean mortar mixes was investigated and it was found that by incorporating marble waste from 25% to 50%, maximum benefits could be derived in terms of reduced water requirement, improved mechanical performance and enhanced durability, while at 50% substitution the water requirement to attain the required workability fell by 6% and compressive strength increased from 2.84 MPa to 7.04 MPa.About:

Impact on mechanical properties of cement sand mortar containing waste granite powder
Lalit Kumar Gupta,A. K. Vyas +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the feasibility of utilizing waste generated from cutting and finishing of granite blocks as a replacement of fine aggregate in mortar mixes was investigated and it was observed that water requirement reduces by 7 and 3% at 30 and 40% by volume replacement respectively in blended mortars.

Recycling of marble waste: A review based on strength of concrete containing marble waste
TL;DR: In this paper, practical equations were developed to calculate the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength in concrete that contains waste marble, and a fairly good fit was obtained between the calculated and measured values for both compressive strengths and tensile strengths.

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.

Re-use of waste marble dust in the production of cement and concrete
TL;DR: The main objective of as discussed by the authors is to investigate the possibility of utilizing waste marble dust (MD) in cement and concrete production, and the results of the study indicate that the use of marble dust in concrete production as cement replacement or as sand replacement gradually enhances both of the mechanical and physical properties of concrete especially with lower w/c ratio.

Mechanism of sulfate attack on portland cement concrete — Another look
TL;DR: The chemical phenomenon of ettringite formation as a result of reaction between sulfate water and hydration products of portland cement does not adequately explain all the physical manifestations of the sulfate attack as discussed by the authors.
