Now a day’s high strength and high performance concrete are being widely used all over the world. Mostapplications of high strength concrete have been in high rise buildings, long span bridges and in some special applications instructures. Traditionally, the basic ingredients of concrete include Cement, Fine aggregate and Coarse aggregate. Ingeneral, Ordinary Portland cement is utilized in the creation of civil structures. This OPC can be replaced by Granite Sludgeand costs lower than OPC. Similarly, another important ingredient of concrete is Fine aggregate i.e., river sand which is ahighly scarce resource. To meet the growing applications for the river sand, Ground Granulated Blast furnace Slag (GGBS)which is readily available that can be utilized in the construction activity. The present investigation deals with thedevelopment of concrete when the cement and river sand are replaced by Granite Sludge and GGBS in various proportions.This study mainly focuses on the discussion of strength and workability characteristics of concrete, when the cement isreplaced by Granite Sludge partially in various proportions, together with the replacement of river sand by GGBS in variousproportions. Cubes are casted for each proportion and tests are conducted for obtaining the compressive strength ofconcrete. The obtained results are discussed and finally conclusions are made accordingly.
