Abstract:
In this paper an experimental investigation is carried out to compare the strength characteristic of conventional concrete with the concrete replaced with marble powder as partial replacement of cement. The work is carried out with M20 and M30 grade concrete with w/c ratio of 0.55 and 0.45 respectively as a control specimen and the cement is replaced by marble powder in the range of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight of cement. For all the mixes compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths are determined at 28 days. The results of present investigation indicate that marble powder incorporation showed the significant improvements in the compressive, split tensile and flexural strength of concrete up to 10% of replacement.
