In this paper the effect of using marble powder and granules as constituents of fines in mortar or concrete by partially reducing quantities of cement as well as other conventional fines has been studied in terms of the relative workability & compressive as well as flexural strengths. Partial replacement of cement and usual fine aggregates by varying percentage of marble powder and marble granules reveals that increased waste marble powder (WMP) or waste marble granule (WMG) ratio result in increased workability and compressive strengths of the mortar and concrete.
