Examining the performance of marble powder doped insulation board adhesive

In this study, research focused on that marble waste sand can be used with the dolomite at different amounts in the adhesive mortars. At the adhesive mortars with additive have been tested; compress strength, flexural strength, pulling strength, water absorption, initial setting time and spreading tests. All these marble waste sand's humidity, chemical structure and particle size have been examined. All results are show that marble waste sand's humidity lower than % 1 and particle size amounts over 710 micron and under 125 micron is more than dolomite. The ratio of calcium carbonate, marble powder according to the XRD patterns and hatrurite rate is more increased. Additionally, dolomite marble waste sand's usage has been examined economically and calculations are show that has advantage economically.
