This study aims to evaluate concrete having Waste Marble Powder (WMP) as partial replacement of cement. Marble is a standout amongst the most imperative materials utilized as a part of the development business. Marble powder is produced from processing plants during the sawing and polishing of marble blocks and about 20 - 25% of the processed marble is turn into powder form. Disposal of the marble powder material from the marble industry is one of the environmental problems worldwide today. The present study is aimed at utilizing Waste marble powder construction industry itself as Marble powder contains high calcium oxide content of more than 50%. The potential use of marble dust can be an ideal choice for substituting in a cementitious binder as the reactivity efficiency increases due to the presence of lime. A total of five concrete mixes, containing 0%, 20%,40% partial replacement of cement with marble powder are investigated in the laboratory. The Results of an experimental investigation on the effects of concrete materials-, mix- and workmanship-related variables, on the Rebound Number and Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity of concrete, are presented. The investigations aimed at developing a method of combined use of both the non-destructive tests for assessment of strength of concrete with greater accuracy. Workmanship variables included different lengths of moist curing
