The current study focuses on the utilization of Marble Waste Powder (MWP) as a partial substitution of cement along with local sand instead of microsilica sand in Engineered Cementitious Composite (ECC). The aim was to reduce the environmental concerns of ECC by reducing the cement content without adversely affecting the desired properties. Four mixes were evaluated; the control mix which has no MWP and three test mixes having cement replacement with MWP by 10%, 15%, and 20% were used, respectively. The properties of ECC mixes were found in terms of compressive, tensile, and flexural characteristics. The trend of change in the basic properties of ECC with an increased percentage of MWP as partial substitution of cement was found along with the hypothesis test on the experimental data. From this study, it was concluded that the increased percentage of MWP reduces on the compressive strength of ECC. The maximum reduction in compressive strength of ECC was recorded as 49% with 20% replacement of cement with MWP, as compared to the control sample at 91 days of test age. The tensile strain of ECC increases with the increase in MWP content, while the tensile stress increases only with the increase of MWP content up to a specified limit. The ultimate load in the force-deflection curve first increases with the increase in MWP content up to a certain percentage, while upon further increase in MWP content from 15% to 20%, the ultimate load decreases. The study suggests that the properties do not vary significantly for the modified ECC samples containing MWP, especially the 10% and 15% MWP samples, and can be utilized instead of normal ECC, thus mitigating environmental concerns without compromising the ECC's performance.
