Abstract
Concrete is the most widely used construction material in civil engineering industry throughout the world because of its high structural strength and stability, where the fine aggregate is generally natural sand. The use of sand in construction activities results in the excessive mining, causing depletion of natural resources resulting increase in scour depth and sometimes flood possibility. Ceramic waste is most commonly produced from ceramic industry whereas Marble powder from processing plants during the sawing and polishing of marble blocks. Disposal of both ceramic waste and marble powder is one of the major environmental problems worldwide today.
