The stone sludge produced during the manufacturing process of stone blocks is considered as one of industrial waste materials. This stone sludge are managed to either burying under the ground or stacking in the yard, but this disposal process is required an extra costs. The stone sludge disposal like burying or stacking also cause environmental pollutions such as ground pollution and subterranean water pollution. Thus, this study was conducted to explore the possibility of recycling of stone dust sludge as a concrete mixing material in order to extend recycling methods and to solve the shortage of aggregate caused by recently increased demand in construction. Based on the experiment results on various ratios of cement to stone sludge content, the compressive strengths of concrete were recorded in the range of $20{\sim}30N/mm2$. The results did not show any decrease in compressive strength due to the stone dust content. It can be concluded that the stone sludge produced by stone block manufacturing can be sufficiently recycled as one of concrete mixing materials in the aspect of compressive strength.

The stone powder sludge occurred at aggregate production process is classified the specified waste, so it is disposed by appropriate method. But the problems of the shortage of the disposal-site, the environment pollution, and the increase of disposal cost can be occurred in handling process, therefore the stone powder sludge is required the development of recycling technique. The stone powder sludge includes SiO2 of about $63\%$. This characteristic is important at the production of hardened specimens under condition of hydro-thermal reaction. In this study, we investigated the strength properties of concrete used stone powder sludge as siliceous material. The test results under condition of hydro-thermal reaction shows the two main facts. The first, the stone powder sludge is affected to fluidity because the surface of the stone powder sludge has characteristics of flakily and angularity. The second, weight content of the stone powder sludge, is not effective factor to the properties of strength.

Stone powder sludge is a byproduct of the crushed aggregate industry, and most of it is dumped with soil in landfills. The disposal of stone powder sludge presents a major environmental problem. This paper investigates the effects of stone powder sludge on the fluidity, density, strength and micro-structure properties of AAC(autoclaved aerated concrete) samples. Stone powder sludge was obtained from a crushed aggregate factory in order to investigate its applicability as a substitute for quartz sand in AAC. To determine the properties of the AAC samples produced with stone powder sludge, specimens containing different foam ratios were produced. Flow value, density, compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength of the samples were tested, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) was performed. The test results indicated that the compressive strength of AAC specimens (F120) with stone powder sludge was higher than that of AAC specimens (Q120) with quartz sand for same foam ratio of 120%. For all XRD diagrams, a higher number of tobermorite peaks was shown for the F120 sample than for the Q120 sample, which may explain the slightly higher strength gain in the F120 sample.

Stone powder sludge is a by-product of the manufacturing process of crushed sand. Most of it is dumped with soil in landfills, and the disposal of stone powder sludge causes a major environmental problem. This paper investigates the applicability of stone powder sludge in fly ashbased geopolymer. For this, stone powder sludge was used to replace fly ash at a replacement ratio of 50% and 100% by weight. The compressive strength of the samples was measured and scanning electron microscopy/ energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS) analysis and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were performed. The test results indicated that the optimum level of the alkali activator ratio ($Na_2SiO_3$/NaOH) for fly ash-based geopolymer using stone powder sludge was 1.5. The strength development is closely related to the NaOH solution concentration. In addition, the compressive strength of the sample cured at $25^{\circ}C$ was significantly improved between 7 days and 28 days, even though the strength of the sample showed the lowest value at 7 days. Microscopy results indicated that a higher proportion of unreacted fly ash spheres remained in the sample with 5M NaOH, and some pores on the surface of the sample were observed.

Nowadays the using of concrete is generalized, and construction material is demanded to be lightweight according to increasing the height and capacity of buildings. Therefore, it needs to develop the products having the great quality and various performance. Extruding concrete panel made of cement, silica source, and fiber, and it is a good lightweight concrete material in durability and thermostable. The silica of important ingredient is natural material with hish SiO2 contents and difficult in supply because of conservation of environment. On the other hand, the stone powder sludge discharged about 20-30% at making process of crushed fine aggregate and it is wasted. The stone powder sludge is valuable instead of silica ole because the stone powder sludge includes water of about 20-60%, SiO2 of about 64% and it has fine particles. This experiment is on the properties of extruding concrete panel using the stone powder sludge use instead of silica. From this experiment, we find that it is possible to replace the silica as stone power sludge up to 50%,

This study is about the application of waste stone sludge as fill material. Waste stone sludge, weathered granite soil, and the mixture of the former and the latter strengthened with staple fiber are experimentally analyzed for measuring strength property. When staple fiber was mixed with waste stone sludge, weathered granite soil, and the mixture, there was a nearly linear relationship between the amount of the staple fiber and the increasing ratio of unconfined compressive strength. The increasing ratio of unconfined compressive strength was the largest in weathered granite soil. The increasing ratio of unconfined compressive strength of the mixture was similar to that of waste stone sludge. In the case of the mixture of weathered granite soil and waste stone sludge, an internal friction angle tended to increases rely on increasement of staple fiber content, whereas the change of cohesion was small. An internal friction angle was increased by 21 percent when staple fiber content is 0.75 percent. Comparing with weathered granite soil or waste stone sludge, strength parameters of the mixture were increased relatively. Thus strengthening effect of staple fiber in the mixture is expected.

The industrial waste is becoming a big problem in the aspect of spatial and environmental in domestic and international. Therefore, the waste reduction and recycling policy has been being implemented as a way to solve this problem. The engineered stone sludge, which is waste, is generated duing the engineered stone production process. since engineered stone sludge is mostly treated by landfill, an increase in the amount of the sludge leads to an increase in landfill sites and treatment costs. therefore, there is a need for a method of resourcization with engineered stone sludge. So, laboratory tests (Plastic and liquid limits, compaction, unconfined compression and permeability test) were conducted to confirm the possibility of using engineered stone sludge mixed with weathered granite soil as a cover material for landfill in this study. The result shows that the mixed soil material with less that 62.5% of engineered stone sludge can be used as a cover material for landfill.

Because the underwater structures are subjected to the deterioration according to use environment, it is necessary to repair and reinforce when the durable performances are considered in structures. In generally, epoxy mortar is used to repair materials of underwater concrete. It is divided epoxy and filler which is organized cement and sand. Cement can be replaced by stone powder sludge in waste because the grading of stone powder sludge in drying state has similar to that of cement. As result of study, it is possible that stone powder sludge can be applied for replacement materials of cement in epoxy mortar, because the strength is not different when filler in epoxy mortar is alternated stone powder sludge.

In order to investigate the feasibility of stone dust sludge as fine aggregate, an experimental study was performed on cement mortar with stone dust sludge. fresh mortar properties and strength with various stone dust sludge replacement ratios were estimated. the replacement ratio adopted in this study was 0, 10, 20, 30%. Flow, air content, and rheological properties were considered as properties of fresh mortar. Compressive strength and flexural tensile strength were measured for strength. The results are as follows. Higher amount of stone dust sludge caused reduction in slump and air content. In the rheological properties, both yield stress and plastic viscosity increased as stone dust sludge content increased up to 20% replacement ratio, but there were no remarkable difference between 20 and 30%. Yield stress increased drastically between 10 and 20%. Compressive and flexural tensile strength results indicated that the strength variation was not significant according to stone dust sludge content, but the strength gain in the early age by adding stone dust sludge was evident. the strength at the age of 28 days however did not show noticeable effect of adding stone dust sludge.
