Abstract: Marble dust is a by-product of the marble manufacturing process. During the cutting operation, a huge amount of powder is created. As a result, around a quarter of the initial marble mass is lost to dust. Directly releasing these waste materials into the environment might result in environmental problems such as increased soil alkalinity, plant and human health effects, and so on. Marble powder can be used as an additive in concrete to boost its strength. It is a solid waste product of marble production that can be utilized as a filler in cement or as fine aggregates in concrete. Using this trash, cheaper and more lasting concrete can be made. can help to solve various ecological and environmental issues. This study discusses the viability of substituting marble debris for cement in order to save money and the environment. The usage of marble dust particles as a fine aggregate replacement in concrete is studied in this study. In concrete, marble has taken the position of fine aggregate at content levels of 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16. To examine the varied features of Marble dust concrete, five distinct series of concrete mixtures were created. Workability, compressive strength, water absorption, specific gravity, and other parameters of controlled concrete have been compared.
