Abstract
It was found that the mechanical properties of concrete containing sludge from the marble extraction industry tend to decline. However, satisfactory results were obtained for replacement ratios of up to 10%, thereby validating the use of this concrete in the construction sector. Regarding the use of plasticizers, it was observed that they improve the mechanical performance of concrete with marble sludge by offsetting the decline of its properties relative to conventional concrete.
