The contemporary construction industry demands advanced materials that combine high strength, durability, and sustainability. This study investigates the development of High-Strength Self-Compacting Concrete (HSSCC) incorporating Marble Sludge Powder (MSP), Silica Fume (SF), and Quartz Sand (QS) as partial replacements for fine aggregates. The research evaluates the physical, chemical, mechanical, and durability properties of HSSCC under elevated temperatures and compares its performance with conventional High-Strength Vibrated Concrete (HSVC). Experimental results demonstrate that HSSCC with Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS) and Fly Ash (FA) exhibits superior workability, compressive strength (up to 58.55 MPa at 28 days), and thermal resistance (up to 400°C). Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) were employed to predict compressive strength, achieving high accuracy. The study highlights the environmental benefits of using industrial by-products like MSP and SF, promoting sustainable construction practices.
