Abstract
Marble waste and fly ash are industrial waste, and disposal of these wastes is a big challenge for environmental sustainability. In this study, we explore an innovative approach to sustainable construction by utilizing industrial by-products: sintered fly ash aggregate (SFA) and waste marble sand in lightweight aggregate concrete (LWAC). This study used SFA as a coarse aggregate, whereas river sand was partially replaced by waste marble sand (10–50 %). The waste marble sand modified LWAC has been investigated for mechanical and durability properties. The test related to permeability like water absorption, sorptivity, permeability, and drying shrinkage has been performed. Mercury intrusion porosimetry test was performed to validate durability results. The results indicate that 30 % of river sand can be replaced with waste marble sand as it improves the overall performance of LWAC. Our research contributes to global sustainability efforts by providing a method to reduce industrial waste through its incorporation in building materials. This study not only addresses the urgent need for environmental preservation but also offers potential enhancements in the mechanical properties of LWAC, making it a viable and eco-friendly option in the construction industry worldwide.
