ABSTRACT: Marble Waste powder is a widespread byproduct of marble processing industries. All these wastes are thrown away in the areas near the factories and cause severe environmental problems. The main objective of this study is to explore the possibility of using marble powder waste as partial replacement of fine aggregate in concrete. Since this concrete is prepared with marble powder as a partial replacement of fine aggregate (Sand) in four different proportions i.e. 10%, 15 % ,20% and 25 % and tested for the period of 7days, 14 days and 28 days. This compressive strength is compared with the conventional concrete i.e. concrete prepared without marble powder. In 7 days,14 days and 28 days strength test, compressive strength of concrete increased when the percentage of marble powder waste is increased by 15% and by further increasing of waste marble powder, compressive strength gets reduced. Specimens were casted in (150x150x150) mm moulds.
