Cement production, in addition to consuming non-renewable natural resources, emits greenhouse gases and pollutes the environment. Waste marble powder (WMP) is an industrial by-product that the marble factory generates considerable amounts during stone processing. WMP mostly not used in the industry nor being recycled and causes serious environmental problems. Silica fume (SF), also known as micro silica, is an ultrafine powder collected as a by-product of the silicon and ferrosilicon alloy production. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of mechanical properties carried out on the concrete mixes containing WMP and SF as a partial replacement of Portland Cement (PC). In all concrete mixtures, a constant water/binder ratio was used and concrete mixtures with a target initial slump of 80±10 were prepared. All of the concrete mixtures were assessed in terms of environmental, economic and mechanical aspects. Global warming potential, fossil fuel depletion potential and acidification potential were considered as environmental indicators of concrete mixtures production. Finally, it was observed that the mechanical properties of concrete containing WMP are improved for replacement ratios up to 10%. The use of SF improved the performance of all mixing designs and compensated for the shortcomings in the mechanical properties of concrete containing high percentages of WMP. Mechanically, the best percentages for simultaneous use of WMP and SF are 5% and 10%, respectively. From an environmental point of view, replacing 20% of WMP and 10% of SF with PC, not only leads to the production of concrete with suitable mechanical properties but also reduces the use of cement by 30% and the resulting environmental pollution. The combined index designed in this study showed that the optimal mix design in terms of mechanical, environmental and economic belongs to a mixture in which 5% WMP and 5% SF are used simultaneously.}, keywords = {Waste marble powder,Silica Fume,Mechanical,Environmental and Economic,concrete}, title_fa = {تأثیر ضایعات پودر مرمر و میکروسیلیس در عملکرد مکانیکی، زیست‌محیطی و اقتصادی بتن}, abstract_fa = {پژوهش حاضر یک مطالعه‌ی آزمایشگاهی بر روی خصوصیات مکانیکی ۱۶ طرح اختلاط بتن حاوی پودر مرمر )۰، ۵، ۱۰ و ۲۰ درصد( و میکروسیلیس (۰، ۵/۲، ۵ و ۱۰ درصد) است، که جایگزین بخشی از سیمان شده‌اند. نسبت آب به مواد سیمانی ثابت و برابر با ۴۵/۰ بوده است. آزمایش‌های اسلامپ، وزن مخصوص، مقاومت فشاری، مقاومت کششی و مدول کشسانی به منظور ارزیابی خصوصیات بتن انجام شده است. در نهایت، تمامی طرح‌های اختلاط از دیدگاه‌های زیست‌محیطی، اقتصادی و مکانیکی بررسی و مشخص شد که خواص مکانیکی بتن حاوی پودر مرمر، برای نسبت‌های جایگزینی بیش از ۱۰٪ تمایل به کاهش دارند. نتایج رضایت‌بخشی برای نسبت‌های جایگزینی پودر مرمر تا ۱۰٪ به دست آمده است. در خصوص استفاده از میکروسیلیس مشاهده شد که کاستی‌هایی که در مقایسه با بتن‌شاهد در خواص مکانیکی بتن حاوی پودر مرمر به وجود آمده است، جبران می‌کند. مقایسه‌ی طرح‌های اختلاط بتن از دیدگاه‌های مختلف نشان داده است که طرح اختلاط بهینه، زمانی ایجاد می‌شود که پودر مرمر و میکروسیلیس به طور همزمان استفاده شوند.}, keywords_fa = {ضایعات سنگ مرمر,میکروسیلیس,مکانیکی,زیست‌محیطی و اقتصادی,بتن}, url = {https://sjce.journals.sharif.edu/article_22505.html}, eprint = {https://sjce.journals.sharif.edu/article_22505_a9ee0b0583673f01f83cd045dac3664a.pdf} }
