In the context of growing scarcity of natural resources, the high demand of aggregates and the difficulties to open new quarries, several studies were carried out to study the possibility of reuse of waste and industrial by-products to replace traditional materials which would run out, replace materials when transport distances increase to reduce construction costs and protect the environment. This experimental study aims to investigate the effect of marble waste used as powder on the shrinkage and absorption of sand concrete in order to reuse it in the production of sand concrete. To achieve this goal, several sand concrete mixtures containing different substitutions rates of marble powder (4, 8 and 12%), and different Water / Cement ratio (0.71, 0.74, 0.77) were produced. Then, the evolution of the shrinkage and absorption values of sand concrete mixtures was studied. The obtained results showed that marble waste powder plays a positive role in reducing of shrinkage and absorption values of sand concrete and lead to the production of eco-friendly sand concrete.

This paper investigates the effect of simultaneous adding of recycled tire rubber (RTR) and marble waste (MW) as fine aggregates on the properties of concrete. To achieve this objective, the particles size distribution of crushed sand (CS) was corrected by the use of marble waste sand (MWS), and RTR was used by volumetric substitution (1%, 2%, 3% and 4%) of aggregates in concrete. The fresh properties were investigated using the slump, density and air content tests. Hardened properties were investigated through the compressive strength, flexural strengths, pulse velocity, elastic modulus and water absorption. The obtained results showed that the increase in the substitution rate of RTR reduced the fresh and hardened properties of concrete containing marble waste sand. However, with low substitution rates the properties of concrete remain satisfactory and the utilization of RTR and MWS leads to making a green concrete while protecting the environment.

The introduction of treated plant fibres into sand concretes leads to a reduction in density, improved ductility and thermal conductivity, and makes sand concrete an environmentally friendly and ecological material. The recovery of waste in this type of material allows the production of new ecological and sustainable materials used either in the new construction or in the rehabilitation of old buildings. In this context, a comparative study was based on the valorisation of marble and ceramic waste as sand in sand concrete made from straw fibres. To carry out this study, we introduced these wastes at substitution rates of 10% and 20%, separated and mixed, and studied the development of the properties of these concretes (density, workability, air content, compressive strength and bending tensile strength) and their behaviour with respect to durability (capillary and immersion absorption and chloride penetration). The study shows that the recovery of this waste as sand in sand concrete based on straw fibres gives satisfactory results. The chemical resistance, thermal conductivity and microstructure are under study, the results of which will be the subject of another publication.
