2. To evaluate and compare the compressive strength of concrete with various incorporation
ratios of Marble powder as cement replacement (0%, 5%, 10% and 20 % of the total volume
of cement) at 7, 28, 90 & 180 days, respectively.
3. To evaluate and compare the mechanical performance of concrete such as exural strength,
split tensile strength & modulus of elasticity with various incorporation ratios of Marble
powder as cement replacement (0%, 5%, 10% and 20 % of the total volume of cement) at 28,
90 & 180 days, respectively.

Scope of Work:
Scope of work of major project includes theoretical work and laboratory work related to
mechanical properties and durability properties of PCC elements of various type of
concretes.
1. Cubes are to be cast & to be tested for compressive strength of concrete mixes such as
concrete including marble powder as cement replacement and sand replacement and CC
for 7 days, 28 days, 90 days and 180 days
2. Cylinders are to be cast & to be tested for split tensile strength & MoE of all category
concrete mixes for 28 days, 90 days & 180 days.
3. Beams are to be cast & to be tested for exural strength of all category concrete mixes for
28 days, 90 days & 180 days.
4. Cubes are to be cast & to be tested for durability properties such as sulphate resistance,
chloride resistance & Acid resistance of all category concrete mixes for 30 days, 90 days
& 180 days.
To study the mechanical and durability properties of concrete with partial replacement of
Cement with Marble powder.
