Abstract
Concrete is a widely used construction material and plays a vital role in the development of infrastructure. However, its production consumes large quantities of natural resources such as cement and sand, leading to environmental concerns and increased costs. Rapid urbanization and industrial growth have further intensified the demand for these materials, making it necessary to explore sustainable alternatives. In this context, the use of industrial waste materials in concrete has gained significant attention.
This study focuses on the utilization of waste marble powder (WMP) as a partial replacement for cement and waste iron powder (WIP) as a substitute for fine aggregate (sand). These materials are generated as by-products from industrial processes and are often disposed of in landfills, causing environmental pollution and health hazards. Their incorporation into concrete not only reduces waste but also conserves natural resources.In the experimental investigation, cement was replaced with marble powder at proportions of 5% and 10%, while sand was replaced with iron powder at 30%, 40%, and 50%. The performance of the concrete was evaluated based on compressive strength, flexural strength, and workability. The results indicated that the optimum combination was achieved at 10% marble powder and 50% iron powder replacement, where both compressive and flexural strengths were maximized.
