Concrete, a ubiquitous construction material globally, relies on natural resources such as lime, aggregates, and water. The surge in cement production has led to a significant rise in CO2 emissions, contributing to environmental pollution.

摘要

Concrete, a ubiquitous construction material globally, relies on natural resources such as lime, aggregates, and water. The surge in cement production has led to a significant rise in CO2 emissions, contributing to environmental pollution. In underdeveloped countries like India, enormous amounts of dolomite waste are generated annually. Owing to the large amount of area needed for disposal and the low amount of waste that is recovered or reused, dolomite waste disposal is a very serious issue. To mitigate these effects, researchers have explored alternative materials like Dolomite Powder to replace or supplement cement. This study delves into the potential of Dolomite Powder as a substitute for cement in concrete, presenting a cost-effective and strength-enhancing solution. Various replacement percentages (0, 5, 10, and 15% by weight of cement) were examined. The research evaluated compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength, and workability revealing that incorporating dolomite powder improves these mechanical properties in concrete, suggesting a promising avenue for further exploration and application in the construction industry.
