Maintenance of natural properties and preservation of environment is the core need of sustainable progress.Construction consume huge amount of precious natural resources. On one side, this leads to faster depletion of naturalresources, on other side manifold increase in the cost of construction of structures pose severe issue for the building sector.Secondly numerous waste materials are generated from manufacturing processes, service industries and municipal solidwastes. The use of waste products in concrete not only makes it economical, but also helps in reducing disposal issues. In thiscontext solid waste obtained from textile during garments stone washing has been used for the preparation of light weightcoarse aggregate concrete and its properties such as compression hardness, tensile strength, flexural strength, has beenassessed. Differenttests was applied on concrete that is produced with exchanging of coarse aggregate with textile industrywaste aggregate (TIWA) waste in mix proportion as M0, M0, M20, M0, M40, M00. By testing of resulting specimens,remarkable effect of industry light weight aggregate was noted on the mechanical properties of resulting compounds. Afterresults, it was concluded that with the addition of 00% of TIWA in concrete will decrease the compressive strength of 28-daysby 46.65%, tensile strength by 67.08% and flexure strength by 69.9 %.
