Abstract
Concrete is the most important component used in the construction industry throughout the world, where the
fine aggregate is generally natural sand. The use of sand in construction activities results in the excessive
mining. Due to excessive mining, natural resources are getting exhausted, results in increase in scour depth and
sometimes flood possibility. Thus, it is becoming inevitable to use alternative material in concrete.Marble is one
of the important materials used in the construction industry. Marble powder is produced from processing plants
during the sawing and polishing of marble blocks and about 20 - 25% of the processed marble is turn into
powder form. Disposal of the marble powder material from the marble industry is one of the environmental
problems worldwide today.The present study is aimed at utilizing Waste marble powder construction industry
itself as fine aggregate in concrete, replacing natural sand. The replacement is done partially and fully in the
proportion 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% and its effect on properties of concrete were investigated.

WMD (%)
It is observed that 50 % WMD mix is the maximum optimum % of WMD and again further increasing
the WMD% the compressive strength is gradually decreases.

The maximum tensile strength is obtained at 0% WMD mix. However, the tensile strength at 25% WMD
mix is coming nearly equal to the tensile strength at 0% WMD. Thus, 25% WMD mix can also give better
tensile strength.

WMD %
The maximum flexural strength is achieved at 50% WMD mix, at all thecuring ages. Thus, 50% WMD
mix gives the optimum percentage of WMD.
