Abstract: The rapid growth of the construction industry has led to increased cement consumption, resulting in high carbon dioxide emissions and environmental concerns. Simultaneously, marble industries generate a significant quantity of marble waste powder during cutting and polishing processes, creating disposal and pollution issues. The partial replacement of cement with marble powder in concrete offers a sustainable solution by reducing cement usage and recycling industrial waste. This review paper summarizes experimental studies on concrete incorporating marble powder as a partial cement replacement. The effects on workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, and durability properties are discussed. Research findings indicate that replacing cement with marble powder up to 10–20% can enhance strength characteristics and improve sustainability without compromising performance.
