In this developing country, technology is fast advancing. "According to development, there is an increase in the construction process." Concrete and steel play a key part in building. Because of the wide range of steel consumption, the ore in the earth crust is also reducing, thus to prevent this sort of shortage or difficulty, we may make a fine grade reinforcing material for binding utilising natural resources. The key component of this procedure is banyan tree stalks, and we are not chopping the tree, only using AERIAL ROOTS of the banyan tree. If we cut them, they will be able to breed anew through that tree. Since ancient times, the Banyan tree, scientifically known as "FICUS BENGHALENSIS," has been used as an essential source of fibres for a variety of purposes. The banyan fibres have a great potential as a reinforcing fibre and a frequent residential and office house tree, but in the natural forest, it is a massive tree of Indian Jungles. The banyan tree begins its existence as an epiphyte growing on another tree where seed was deposited by some feeding birds. The banyan tree may grow to be 100 inches tall and spread across several acres thanks to its huge branches supported by prop roots. A renowned banyan tree at Poona, India, is claimed to be a half mile in circumference and capable of sheltering 2000 people. The banyan tree is indigenous to India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. The literature review and tests we are conducting have revealed scant information on the application of these fibres as reinforcing material, despite the easy availability of this new and extensive research work has been initiated in our laboratory on the synthesis study of properties of banyan tree stalks as a reinforcing binding material by adding some resins. The present work presents the results of experimental investigations carried out to evaluate the effect of partial replacement of steel in the construction of composites, which provide characteristics that are not obtained from any discrete material systems and cohesive structures made by combining two or more compatible materials
