This experimental study is about the investigation of the concrete prepared with marble waste, micro silica and Rice Straw. Investigation is done by determining ad comparing the mechanical Strength properties and cost of Proposed concrete with the Normal conventional concrete. The different test on the marble concrete shows that the incrment in marble powder content increases the mechanical strength of concrete. Marble is costlier than the Coarse aggregate, so it also increases the cost of the concrete. Micro silica fills the voids in the concrete and helps in the increment of the strength. After the replacement of recycled aggregates and addition of the silica fume, Rice Straw ash can replace cement by 15% without any decrement in the strength of the concrete. Total water absorption of the concrete Decreases due to use of marble because it does not absorb any water.
