This review comprehensively examines the feasibility of utilizing marble waste in concrete, focusing on three primary replacement levels: cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate. The study synthesizes recent research on substituting marble waste for cement, fine aggregates, and coarse aggregates, focusing on performance metrics such as workability, strength, and durability. Findings reveal that waste marble can effectively replace up to 10% of cement in concrete mixtures. For fine aggregates, optimal replacement levels range between 20-30%, When used as a coarse aggregate substitute, marble waste can be replaced up to 50%, balancing improved resource efficiency with maintained strength and durability. The review highlights that incorporating waste marble into concrete not only reduces the reliance on natural resources but also minimizes landfill waste and lowers the carbon footprint. Recommendations for future research include standardizing marble waste particle sizes, evaluating long-term durability, and assessing environmental impacts through comprehensive life cycle analyses. This study aims to influence industry stakeholders and policymakers to consider waste marble as a viable and eco-friendly alternative in sustainable construction practices.}, number={2}, publisher={Mehmet Sinan Bilgili}
