Marble powder is an inert material which is procured as an industrial by-product during sawing, grinding, and polishing of marble is a cause to various environmental problems. These wastes can be used as the constituents of concrete by partially replacing the cement which makes it economical and also conserves our natural resources. The main objective of this research is to examine whether there is any possibility of utilizing marble powder in concrete production. This study includes different types of concrete mixes of M25 by replacing the cement with marble powder in various proportions (0%, 5%, 10% & 15%) by weight to determine the optimum percentage of replacement. The testing for Compressive strength of these Concrete mixes is done at 7 and editor@iaeme.com

General Recycling waste without properly studying its properties and without proper based scientific research can result into environmental problems which might be greater than the waste itself. Marble waste in general is a very important material for achieving sustainable development. Marble waste procured from quarry operations can be dangerous and environmentally detrimental. Looking at the current scenario, the cost of material is increasing and so the use of the waste material in the concrete decreases the price of production which helps in achieving economy of our concrete. In India, around 6 million tons of wastes from marble industries are being generated from marble cutting, polishing, processing and grinding. Direct exposure of the waste material to the environment can cause many environmental problems and because of which many countries are still working on usage of waste materials Marble Dust Construction materials are more judged by their ecological characteristics because of the continual depletion of quarry aggregates. In India huge amount of marble waste is being generated because of lack of technology and also unscientific methods of quarrying marble. Due to generation of marble waste there is a direct exposure of this material with the environment because of which serious environmental problems occur. Fig. 1 shows the marble dust powder. Also the marble cutting industry generates a high volume of wastes. Figure 1 Marble Dust Powder editor@iaeme.com

3 To Study The Properties of Concrete as A Replacement of Cement with The Marble Dust Powder Importance of using Marble dust in concrete Reduces the cement content which results in cost reduction. Helps in improving durability. Helps in attaining and maintaining strength at specific days. Need of using Marble dust Huge amount of marble waste is being generated from marble cutting plants and mineral industries. As these wastes have adverse effect on our environment, it is very essential to find the safe disposal method for this type of waste or to find a proper solution for the utilization of this waste. The research presents an eco-friendly solution for the utilization of marble waste and helps in preserving our eco system. Advantages of Marble dust It intensifies the properties of mortar and concrete. Huge amount of Marble waste is generated and so cost of procuring of this waste is low. Disadvantages of Marble dust Marble does not take part in the hydration process. Marble waste is not available in all regions and so additional transportation cost will be added for its procurement. 2. OBJECTIVE AND SCOPE OF WORK In this research, an attempt has been made to evaluate the compressive strength of concrete. For our research M25 concrete have been considered for studies. The Marble Dust is used as replacement of cement by weight in the present work. 1. Procurement of Unprocessed Marble Dust from marble quarry. (Location: Gota, Ahmedabad, Gujarat) and development of mix design as per IS 10262: Preparing concrete cubes with Marble Dust replacing cement with 0%, 5%, 10% & 15% by weight. 3. MATERIALS AND METHODS 3.1. Materials Cement Ordinary Portland Cement of UltraTech conforming to IS (1987) was used to carry out this work. Portland cement of 53 grade was used. Properties of cement such as fineness of cement, specific gravity, etc were found out as per Indian Standards. Table 1 shows the physical and chemical analysis data of cement editor@iaeme.com

4 Deepanshu Patel, Parin Bodiwala, Prof. Tejas Joshi and Dr. Urmil dave Table 1 Chemical and Physical analysis data of cement Coarse Aggregate It is important constituent in concrete from economy point of view. The particle size of course aggregate is taken as 20mm and 10mm in this work. Rough textured course aggregate were used to provide better bonding between cement paste and course aggregate. Various tests such as aggregate impact test, aggregate crushing test, elongation and flakiness index test are conducted as per Indian Standards. Fine Aggregate (Sand) Natural sand which has smooth surface texture having good workability was used in this work. Sieve analysis was conducted to find out fineness modulus which comes out to be 3.14% and that is under limit as per IS Marble Dust Powder Marble Dust acquired from quarry which is at Gota, Ahmedabad was used in this work. It improves durability, reduces the cement content and thus reducing the cost of construction. Disadvantage of it is that it does not take part in the process of hydration.

Sample Preparation Table 4 Total specimens casted Total 24 cubes (150mm*150mm*150mm) were casted for different mixes as shown in table 4. Compressive strength of cubes of different mixes were determined at 7, 28 days. Compressive strength values were calculated based on the average values of the 3 cubes. Compressive tests were conducted using Compressive Testing Machine (CTM). C=P/A Where, C= Compressive strength of the cubes (N/mm2) P= Total load on the specimen at the point of failure (N) A= Area of the specimen (mm2) 4.
