Abstract Concrete is the world’s most consumable man-made construction material. Next to water,concrete is the most used material that needed massive quantities of Ordinary Portland cement.Ordinary Portland cement production is that the second after to the automobile the majorgenerator of the carbon-dioxide compound, that impure the atmosphere. Additionally, to it, agreat amount of energy was additionally consumed for the cement production. Hence, it's
inevitable to seek out a different material to the existing most expensive, most resource intensePortland Cement. Fly- Ash, a by-product of coal obtained from the thermal power plant is lotsaccessible worldwide. Fly-ash is wealthy in silicon dioxide and alumina reacted with OrdinaryPortland Cement particles and form a gel that acted the binding material for the concrete. Also,GGBS is added which is also a by-product of iron industries and have good cementingproperties. It is formed in abundance as waste material, therefore it may be used in construction
purpose to overcome its harmful effects on environment. In the current study, Fly-ash is usedas partial replacement of cement where-as Iron Slag is used as partial replacement of fineaggregate (sand). Cement was replaced by following percentages of fly-ash 6%, 12% and 18%,and fine aggregate was replaced by following percentages of iron-slag 15%, 30% and 45%.The tests like compression test, split tensile test and flexural test was done on hard concrete
and workability (slump) test was also done fresh concrete.
