The intentions was for Bane to bust through the pillars outside the Carnegie Mellon Institute. Bane (being an actor) can't do such things in reality. That's why they created fake prop material for him to bust through. We don't judge feats off the actual material but the intended material. Otherwise, everyone's feats are worthless.
Sebastian Stan, the actor for Winter Soldier, also didn't punch and crack real concrete. Yet what we see in the movie is him cracking something that looks like concrete and reacts like concrete.
In comparison, Bane punched a pillar that does not look or react like solid concrete or marble, which implies that it was never meant to be portrayed as solid concrete or marble.
