Waste marble partials expensing as base material

Nowadays, about reuse of waste materials and recycling is made intense studies. Thus, it is decreased use of limited natural sources, is prevented environmental damage, and by the result of waste store environmental problems are decreased. Marbles need to cut to take regular geometric shapes and is occured marble wastes. In last years, marbles usage is increased continuously in buildings, thus marble operated factories number are increased. In this study, it was investigated evaluation as base material to the marble waste. For this reason, it was conducted freezing durability test, Los Angeles test, flakiness index test, organic material (NaOH) test, water absorbing test, Atterberg consistency limits test, methylene blue test, dry and wet California bearing ratio. Consequently, marble wastes which are taken from three different region of Bilecik was seen proper below base material physical appearances that are determined in Highways Technical Specification.
