In India, a marble waste powder industrial waste makes it the most suitable materials for cement-based applications. Concrete is a construction material that consists of cement (commonly Portland cement), aggregate (generally gravel and sand), water and admixtures. Cement acts as a binding material, sand acts as a void filler and coarse aggregates provide strength to the concrete mixture. For special cases to enhance or to retard the properties of the concrete mix, admixtures are added to it. This paper discusses the design of M30 concrete mix by replacing cement with marble powder accordingly in the range of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% respectively. The comparative study of the compressive strength of all the cubed is tested and the graphs were plotted accordingly
