Abstract Concrete is one of the most important elements used by the construction industry throughout the world. Inflation has been seen in the case of natural sand due to its rapidly increasing demand. In such a scenario waste marble sand would be economical as compared to river sand. And thus, we can tackle one of the environmental problems worldwide today which is the disposal of the waste marble sandor powder material from the marble industry.Thispaper puts forward the study conducted to understand and explore the suitability of using industrial and quarrying waste marble sand (dust) in concrete as a replacement for fine aggregates. In this paper, we have replaced fine aggregates in concrete with waste marble sand of size 1 2mm (marble fine aggregates) in an M20 mix design as per IS CODE 10262. As waste marble is a low cost product and it resembles cementitious properties, the strength of concrete is also increased than conventional concrete. It is cheap economical andeco friendly material for the replacement of natural sand and fine aggregate

Key Words: Waste Marble sand, Compressive Strength, Concrete, Ecofriendly.

1.INTRODUCTION

The term "conventional concrete" refers to the ordinary concrete that weutilize on a daily basis in India. Concrete constitutes are cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregates, water,andsometimesanadditiveintheproperquantities. Hydraulic(Portland)cement,sand,stone,andwatermakeup traditionalconcrete.Itwasinventednearly150yearsagoas asubstitutematerialtonaturalstonewhileallowingforless labor exhaustiveshapingtechniques.Astonemadeofcalcite, dolomite, or serpentine that can be polished is known as construction marble.

We collected this marble trash from marble processing companies such as marble shops, factories, and quarries since waste marble sand, dust, or slurry does not easily decomposeintheenvironmentandthusgeneratesdiverse pollution that has an impact on humans health and the environment.



To find an alternative for natural sand with full replacementofWasteMarbleSandinconcrete.

4. METHODOLOGY

Concretewithawater cementratio(W/CRatio)of0.45is used. The cement used in this study is Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) of 53 grade [4]. The substitution of Waste Marble Sand (WMS) will be 100% of the weight of fine aggregate.Toattainenoughworkability,therelativeratioof coarse aggregate and sand turned was determined with respecttostandardweightconcrete.
