Construction and demolition waste constitute one of the major components of waste generated worldwide. Very large quantities of aggregates are used in construction. When the useful life of the structure is over it will be demolished and all the demolished wastes just find their way to landfills. Finding large areas for landfills is becoming very difficult. On the other hand continuous extraction and quarrying of natural aggregates for construction is causing depletion of natural resources. The recycling of demolished construction waste aggregates to be used in new engineering application provides a promising solution to both problems. So in order to reduce construction cost and resolving housing problems faced by the low income communities of the India. This project/research includes an experimental study on concrete by taking partial replacement of coarse and fine aggregate with demolished waste to determine the compressive strength and flexural strength and results are compared with normal concrete
