Concrete is the most extensively used construction material in the world. Concrete is normally prepared by using coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, cement and water measured by weight in a required proportion. These materials are obtained from natural resource. Continuous use of these materials on a large scale leads to their depletion causing strain on the environment. Large quantities of waste materials are produced from the manufacturing industry, service industry and municipal solid waste incinerators. The waste materials are gaining attention to use the materials as a substitute to natural aggregates or cement in concrete. The second most consumed product in the world is Cement. It contributes nearly 7% of the global carbon dioxide emission. GGBS which are considered as a more eco-friendly alternative to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) based concrete. By using this type of industrial by-products in concrete industry as a replacement for cement we can reduce the usage of cement which results in minimizing the emission of greenhouses gases into the atmosphere and also savings in cost. Bottom-ash is considered as alternate fine aggregate. By using this can able to prevent the scarcity of river-sand. In this research, this project focused on the effects of varies percentage of bottom ash and GGBS replacement on the concrete and also study compressive strength, tensile strength and of concrete containing bottom ash as river-sand replacement and GGBS as cement replacement. The strength is analyzed 7days and 28days. The strength for 0, 25, 50, 75, 100% replacement of bottom ash with fine aggregate and 0, 25, 50, 75, 100% replacement of GGBS with cement is higher or equal to conventional concrete.
