Abstract

The present investigation centers on the use of waste marble powder as substitution material of cement for concrete. Around 6 million tons of marble waste is generated in India from cutting,handling,cleaning and crushing of marble. Conventional concrete was somewhat replacedby swastemarble powderin the proportion of 5%, 10%, and 15% by weight and the impact of waste marble powder (W. M. P.) as a replacement material has been examined on hardened concrete with tests for Compressive strength, Split tensile strength, Flexural strength for M25 grade of concrete. There was increase in the strength of the concrete when the W. M. P. content was 5%. Beyond that the strength of concrete begins to decrease drastically. The highest strength was obtained at 5%waste marble powder replacement.
