Abstract

The demand for usage of industrial by-products and wastes in road pavements is increasing and becoming more important. Government policies and public awareness are also contributing to the enhancement of both this demand and utilization. Various slags such as blast furnace and steel slag have been widely used in road pavements. Therefore, it could be possible to prevent the environmental pollution and to consume fewer natural resources as well through its utilization in increasing demand for road construction. The present study aims at developing pavement quality concrete mixtures incorporating marble dust and furnace slag as a partial fine aggregate replacement material. In this study, the use of marble dust and furnace slag by replacing sand in pavement quality concrete of rigid pavement s are reported and the effect on the slab thickness of PQC pavement for the achieved strength of the concrete mixtures incorporating marble dust and furnace slag has also been studied. The study shows that the marble dust cab be effectively replaced sand up to 15% and furnace slag can be used up to 20% as replacement of sand in PQC. The maximum flexural strength is achieved for the mix containing 10% marble dust and 10% furnace slag as partial replacements of sand. The flexural strength increase is significant for mixes containing marble dust and furnace slag, with a combination up to certain limits of 25 to 30% in development of pavement quality concrete.
