Utilization of granite sawing waste in self compacting concrete

The self-compacting concrete must contain mineral admixtures to improve the flow properties. The granite sawing waste can be utilized as mineral admixture in the self-compacting concrete. The results obtained by XRD and SEM methods show that there is a promising future for the use of this waste material as filler in self-compacting concrete, along with fly ash. The results show that the granite sawing waste and fly ash can be used to improve the properties and cost-effectiveness of the self-compacting concrete.Original Abstract: Samozbijajuci beton treba sadrzavati mineralne dodatke za poboljsanje svojstava tecenja betona. Kao mineralni dodatak u samozbijajucem betonu moze se koristiti granitna prasina. Rezultati ispitivanja rentgenskom difrakcijom (XRD) te skeniranje elektronskim mikroskopom (SEM) pokazali su da postoji obecavajuca buducnost za koristenje ovog otpadnog materijala kao punila u samozbijajucim betonima, uz dodatak leteceg pepela. Rezultati su pokazali da je moguce koristiti granitnu prasinu i leteci pepeo da bi se poboljsala svojstva i ekonomska isplativost samozbijajuceg betona.
