Thus, usage of stone powdered is now an important alternative material towards the effective usage in tangible for enhanced solidify qualities of tangible. Marble is a metamorphism stone result of the modification of a real sedimentary rock. The marble cutting plants It has been approximated that into the millions a whole lot of MDP are created during quarrying are dispose the dust in close pit or available place, close their plant although notified places selected for the dumps. This leads to harmful environmental pollution and occupation of vacant area of land especially following the powder dried up. This also may lead to impurity of the ground water reserves (Branco et al 2004; Vijayalakshmi et al 2001). marble natural stone industry generates both solid and stone slurry and according to prior survey solid waste materials generation is even more in marble natural stone industry, in and about 40% of waste materials is formed, that's around 68 million tonnes. So, have an effect on the fertility of the soil. Experimental programme was carried out using 0%, 7.5%, 15%, 22.5%, 30% by wt. partial replacement of cement with marble dust powder for making of cement concrete with 0.40 water cement ratio. Key words: Marble powder, concrete, compressive strength, split tensile test, flexure test.

Concrete consists of paste and aggregates. The paste consists of water and cement and the aggregate portion is composed of sand and aggregates. Among other things that are found in editor@iaeme.com

2 Arun Kumar and Ankush Thakur concrete, cement is certainly the most crucial ingredient, that in touch with water, right into a solid mass. The cement could be produced in a large quantity. The production of cement is certainly expected to cross 51 million tons by In the creation of cement wide range of CO2 is usually emitted which produces negative effects on environmental surroundings. As Per experts, every 1 ton of cement produce releases 0.5 ton of carbon dioxide that greatly contribute to the global warming. Therefore, immediate actions are required to be taken to reduce the creation and use of cement for the basic security of environment. In latest situations, the use of either industrial or agricultural waste as supplementary cement replacement materials. Industrial waste material be made up of waste marble powder, blast furnace slag, fly ash and silica fumes, rice husk and farming waste materials are made up of rice husk ash, silica and ash fume wheat straw ash, coconut waste and sugarcane bagasse ash etc, which are utilized as cement substitute in concrete replacement alternative substitute not really only just decreases the price of concrete but also minimizes the harmful environmental affects that are connected with the fingertips of these waste materials and emission of co2 gas by the cement. Marble powder is the by-product of Marble factories; the sludge or moist powder is usually acquired from the polishing, dressing and trimming of the marble stones and the fine marble powder which is usually still left after dressing polishing and dumped into the landfills, water sheds, streams, blind wells and the periodic streams which is usually after that transported out by the rainfall water to the agricultures lands thus leading to negative effects on the soil and reducing the fertility of soil, creation. Cement, sand and aggregate are important things for any construction sector. Environmental restrictions, increase commercial activity and also increase the costs of natural mineral assets, have pressured the transforming sector to examine the logistics of raw materials source (saak et al.1999). worldwide, there has been a great elevated interest in reference recovery, recycling and source conservation as important guideline for just about any sustainable development programs (Miletic et al.2003). Environmental problems related to waste Marble powder. The WMP imposes severe threats to ecosystem, physical, chemical substance and biological parts of environment. Complications encountered are; It adversely impacts the productivity of land due to decreased porosity, water absorption, percolation etc. When dries, it converts air pollution and trigger severe polluting of the environment. Introduces occupational health issues, it also impacts machines and instruments set up in commercial areas (Hwang et al. 2008). Hence, it is a interpersonal and responsibility of authorities and industry to resolve the issue of WMP pollution (corinaldesi et al.1998). As such, advancement of nation is only feasible by sustainable well-balanced industrialization. Of our curiosity is utilization of WMP in cement sector as an alternative of limestone for the creation of clinker. To find Physical and Chemical characteristics of Waste Marble Powder. To investigate and compare compressive, split tensile and flexural strength of partially replaced specimens with control mix. To found the optimum percentage of marble dust powder substitute in concrete that provides the strength of the concrete (structure) maximum editor@iaeme.com

3 Strength Behaviour of Concrete Produced with Marble Dust Powder 2. RESEARCH SIGNIFICANCE The ordinary Portland cement is acknowledged to be the most quantity used construction material throughout the globe. The cement production is known to be one of the most environmental unfriendly processes because it releases of CO2 gases to the atmosphere. Studies suggest that one ton of cement clinker production releases one ton of CO2 [1]. 7% of world carbon dioxide coming up from Portland cements industry [2]. Besides the negative environmental impacts of cement, it is the most expensive constituent of concrete. The raw materials which are used in the production of cement like lime are being depleted in large amount. On the other hand, the raw marble stone is cut seasoned and dressed in large quantity which upon dressing produce 25% of waste marble powder. The destruction of this waste marble powder is a big problem which causes environmental pollution. Thus, by utilizing this industrial waste marble powder by replacing cement content in concrete can lessen the emission of carbon di-oxide as emission and these problems can be mitigated. 3. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cement Ordinary Portland Cement of 43 grade made by the Ambuja Cement industry confirming to IS 8112:1989 is used in the study.

CONCLUSIONS An experimental program was devised to analyse the result of alternative of cement with marble dust powder on several characteristics of cement and cement mortar mix. Furthermore, depletion of cement decreases above as cement can be a high-cost ingredient and substitute of cement in addition to sand can result in development of economical and also sustainable concrete Waste materials disposal can be financial trouble relieved with the use of utilization of waste marble powder which result in good economic performance. The research propose that any further possible disambiguation can result unfortunate for mechanical and strength properties. REFERENCES [1] Acchar, W., Vieira, F.A. and Hotza, D.
