Abstract
Abstract Replacing limestone filler by waste marble dust is one of the paths to explore, at a regional level, to stimulate circularity and reduce environmental burdens of ornamental stone processing. This study investigated six blended cements which combined supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) and limestone filler or waste marble dust, with a clinker factor of 50%. Compressive strength was determined at 3, 7, 28 and 91 days and evaluated based on the criteria standardized in ABNT NBR 16697:2018. The cementing efficiency at 7 and 28 days of the set of mineral admixtures used and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions intensity of each cement were also calculated. The synergy between the combinations reduced the clinker factor and cement GHG emissions, whilst preserving the mechanical performance required by the construction market.
