Concrete is a most common material which is commonly used in all types of civil engineering works. The demand for aggregates is more in current situation and on the other side the industries are producing a large number of tanning wastes from the leather industries cause of this dumping and contamination of these tannery wastes it affects the environment and causes some disposal problems. So, the experimental studies carried on the tannery solid wastes to introduce it with concrete and make it as a partial replacement in reinforced concrete. In this study, by partially replacing of fine aggregate with tannery sludge with some limited percentage 0%, 10% ,20%, 30% in volume. The concrete grade M25 selected and specimens are casted and tested for both grades. The size of concrete cube is 150mm by 150mm by 150mm, the size of concrete cylinder is 300mm height ,150mm diameter, the size of concrete prism is 150mm by 150mm by 500mm.. So, these specimens are been casted and cured for 28 days and these specimens are tested to found the mechanical properties by compressive strength test for cube is done on 7th day, 14th day and 28th day respectively, split tensile test for cylinder is done on 28th day, flexural strength test for prism is done on 28th day, flexural strength test for RC Beam is done on 28th day respectively. And to compare the results with the normal conventional concrete with tannery sludge replaced concrete where the specimens undergo heavy loading conditions. So as a result, the compressive strength and tensile strength of 30% replacement of tannery sludge is a bit higher than the normal conventional concrete.
