In this study, marble that consist mainly of calcite were used for applicability evaluation after treated with consolidant such as alkoxysilane series of 0.8T0.2E1G_3wt0.08% and 1T1G_7wt0.08%. The position and intensity of X-ray diffraction peaks are no change and increasing trend after treated with two consolidants. The results of scanning electron microscopic analysis, morphology of rope type and homogeneous surface of platy or leaflike form observed on the marble after treated with 0.8T0.2E1G_3wt0.08% and 1T1G_7wt0.08%, respectively. Brightness of surface after treated with consolidant are changing slightly dark. Shore hardness and ultrasonic velocity values show increasing after treated on the marble surface with two consolidants.
