Abstract
It is necessary to prioritize recycling applications to contribute to the marble industry, ecology, and economy. In the current study, it is seen that the optical fiber and waste marble is used extensively in concrete instead of aggregate and cement. Several studies have sought to improve the quality of concrete, as well as its durability and strength, by adding fibers (metallic, polypropylene, carbon, vegetables) or by replacing the aggregate. The use of optical fiber waste in concrete is still incipient and few studies address the use of marble aggregate to be used in concrete. In this connection the experimental work was planned to utilize the black marble waste as coarse aggregate. In order to know the compressive and pull out bond strengths behaviour of marble aggregate concrete, cube specimens were cast with steel crimpled fibres and black marble aggregate at various replacements. Fifteen mixtures were taken with different percentages of black marble stone aggregates (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%) and different percentages of crimped steel fibres (0, 1 and 2%). The cubes were tested for compressive and bond strengths. The results provided significant information about the strengths and it is observed that as the percentage of steel fibres increases in the mix the strengths are increased and also noticed that, with increase in the black stone waste aggregate in the concrete mixes the strengths were decreased. This research assesses the behaviour of the mixture composed of: Portland cement + fine aggregate (sand from crushed marble waste) + coarse aggregate (gneiss) + optical fiber waste and water. The compressive strength, the tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity of concrete and the durability of optical fiber waste in alkaline composite were tested through microstructural evaluation. The results present an increase of about 20% in the mechanical properties and a reduction in the rigidity of the mixture, making the material more ductile. The superficial protection of the fibers made them more resistant to the alkaline attack of the cement. The knowledge acquired would allow the creation of sustainable concrete reinforced with optical fiber in a much more efficient way.
