    Concrete is the construction material widely used in buildings and civil infrastructures. It is not considered as environmental friendly material as it consumes around 70% of natural aggregates in its production. Aggregates supply has also emerged as a problem in the present days. This issue directs the use of alternative materials as the aggregate for the production of concrete such as steel slag, C&D waste, e- waste etc. Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) and steel slag requires high investment and large land for the disposal of these wastes which affects the human health. Steel slag, the waste by- product of the iron and steel industry produces Ground Granulated Blast Slag (GGBS) and Granulated Blast Slag (GBS) is used as the alternative of cement and Natural Fine Aggregate (NFA) respectively. RCA, the demolition waste is used as the alternative of Natural Coarse Aggregate (NCA).
