A. General
The effects of fly ash, marble and granite powder” as
a replacement of river sand on the different properties of
concrete have been reported since 1994. The early studies have
only focused on normal strength concretes as well as mortars
and it has been found out that use of inclusion of fly ash,
marble and granite powder” as a replacement of river sand
does modify many concrete properties i.e. Fresh properties,
hardened properties as well as durability properties. Since
then, several researches have reported the effects of use of fly
ash, marble and granite powder” as a part of fine aggregate in
normal strength concrete, high strength concrete and mortars.
The purpose of this study is to access the current state

of knowledge concerning the utilization fly ash, marble and

mortar and concrete. An extensive review of the recently
published studies and available research papers on the use
of fly ash, marble and granite powder” as a partial and

review. Studies are examined in terms of measured fresh
properties, hardened properties and durability properties. The
key pointes arising from the literature review are discussed
property-wise. Different properties studied in literature review
are workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength,
flexural strength, young’s modulus of elasticity, chloride-
ion penetration, water permeability, water absorption, drying
shrinkage and abrasion resistance.
