As a byproduct of the marble industry, marble waste is a very important resource that requires proper environmental disposal. Directly releasing these waste elements into the environment might result in issues with the environment, such as a rise in soil alkalinity, effects on plants, animals, and human beings. Marble powder can be used as an additive in concrete to boost strength and other mechanical qualities and this way, we can avoid environmental degradation. As a byproduct of the metal industry purifying process for Copper, Copper slag is produced. In order to utilize less natural sand, an effort is undertaken to recycle this waste material into concrete coupled with the copper slag (CS). When compared to control concrete, concrete with a 20% copper slag with replacement of fine aggregate showed a significant increase in compressive strength. The results reveal that after replacing 20% of the Copper slag (as replacement of sand) and 10% of marble dust powder (as partial substitute to cement), compressive strength improved. Flexural strength and split tensile strength also increased after replacement. In engineering applications, polypropylene fiber (PPF) is frequently added to concrete to enhance its mechanical properties. Polypropylene Fabrics (PPFF) which are widely utilized in the textile industry are manufactured in enormous quantities every year. This fibered concrete is primarily used for studies on Sulphur resistance, durability, and corrosion resistance. There is a new opportunity to produce eco-friendly concrete blocks using RCAs taking into account their mechanical features and environmental advantages. RCA-content concrete blocks exhibit improved water resistance and are more cost-effective. All of these elements are applied in research in the present investigation using M30 grade concrete. With a constant PPF content (0.5% by volume of concrete) & constant RCA (40% of CA), marble powder is partially replaced by cement in different percentage by weight of cement (5%,10%,15%), and copper slag is partially replaced by FA in various percentage by weight of cement (20%, 40%, and 60%).Downloads
