Thermal effect of marble and tile fillers on self-compacting concrete behavior in the fresh state and at early age

The testing results of the setting of cement show that the marble and tiles wastes have a positive effect on the fresh state of concrete and the setting period by reducing the critical phase of concrete in the face of shrinkages. At the same time, these industrial wastes fillers reduce the heat in the exothermic hydration reactions of cement in SCCWs and limit their cracking due to thermal shrinkage. Moreover, the testing results show that SCCWs, exposed to heat and ventilated environment, have satisfactory strength to cracking due to the plastic shrinkage.
