Evaluating the strength, durability and porosity characteristics of alluvial clay stabilized with marble dust as a sustainable binder by Mohamad Hanafi, Israf Javed, Abdullah Ekinci

“…The study tested three Portland cement contents (7, 10, and 13 %), two dry density (1.6 and 1.8 g/cm3), and two marble dust contents (0, 10 and 20 %) across three curing ages (7, 28, and 60 days). Microstructural analysis was performed using SEM. Results indicated a slight decrease in 7-day strength (up to 8.3 %) with 10 % marble dust replacement due to minimal pozzolanic activity, while 28-day strength loss was less significant. …”
