Marble Industry produces large amount of waste during mining and processing stages. This waste is dumped on to open land which creates a lot of environmental problems We get recycle aggregate from the old dumped structures and buildings. The main objective of this study was utilization of marble, granite and recycled aggregate waste with polypropylene fiber as a replacement for conventional natural coarse aggregates in concrete. Experimental investigations were carried out to examine the feasibility of use of marble, granite and recycled aggregates waste as coarse aggregates in concrete. Conventional natural coarse aggregates was fully replacement by marble in different percentages 0-60% , granite 0-30% and recycle aggregates 0-40% with polypropylene fiber less than 1% by weight. The concrete formulations were prepared with a constant water.
