Concrete being the most important constituent of construction has gone a mile change in recent years either by replacing its ingredients by some other or by adding some essential ingredients to improve the quality and endurance of concrete. An attempt has been made to replace natural fine aggregate (sand) by brick dust and addition of marble powder to the mix generating a new additive concrete which can more or less results to a self-compacting concrete (SCC). In this experimental work, attempt has been made to substitute natural sand (Fine Aggregate) by a mixture of brick kiln dust and marble powder (0%, 25%, 50%) to produce M30 grade of concrete with adding proper dosage of Super Plasticizer (SP-430) and Viscosity Modifying Admixture (VMA).
