    Population growth in cities couple with lack of spaces for building forced people and government to embrace the concept of high-rise building. The construction of high-rise building involves proper idealization, estimation of loads, analysis of idealize structure, adequate specification of sizes and material. The paper investigated the mechanical compliance of market supply by reinforced concrete iron rod in with BS 4449 requirement of diameter, yield strength, elongation, and stress ratio through hydraulic universal testing machine. As a result, among the eight manufacturers only F and H complied to the size specified on the reinforcement. On yield strength only F and on % elongation only C, E and H complied with standards.

    One of the environmental concerns today is the increasing amount of waste generated from marble quarrying and processing. This study evaluates the mechanical and durability properties of marble waste-modified rigid pavement material. A series of laboratory tests was conducted to obtain the properties of marble waste-modified rigid pavement material. The slump value decreases as the percentage of marble waste increases. As the percentage of marble waste increases, the dry density gradually decreases from 2770 kg/m3 to 2590 kg/m3. Comparison of the 7-day and 28-day compressive strength indicates that replacing the gravel with marble waste resulted in early strength gain, making it suitable for use in conditions that require early strength gain. The scanning electron microscopy results indicated higher calcium content for the 10% marble waste sample, which is responsible for the cementation and supports the higher compressive strength obtained for the sample at 7 days of curing, due to early strength gain. The study is the first to show the synergistic effect of marble waste on early strength and durability in rigid pavements These findings. showed that marble waste can be used as a modifier in rigid pavement materials. The study contributes to Sustainable Development Goals 9 and 11
