Abstract
This paper introduces the study on self-compacting concrete (SCC) using waste marble powder (WMP) as a partial substitution of sand along with waste limestone dust (WLSD) as a partial substitution for cement in addition to sugarcane molasses as an admixture. The study focuses on the assessment of plastic and hardened properties of this SCC. Firstly, a conventional self-compacting concrete was prepared by using sugarcane molasses as an admixture, then five more self-compacting concrete (SCC) mixes were prepared by the fine aggregate and binder replacement of (10%, 5%), (20%, 5%), (30%, 5%), (40%, 5%) and (50%, 5%) respectively. The test results indicated that the use of industrial wastes can produce high quality SCC when the alternative replacements are within the specified range.
