Abstract: In recent scenarios, waste management is a great concern for all countries. Other side manufacturing industries of cement is produced carbon-dioxide in the environment. The utilization of industrial waste as a by-product of cement is a great opportunity for researchers. Keeping this thing in mind used industrial waste of iron factories as an alternative to cement in concrete. This investigation used waste ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBFS) acquired from iron industries. The GGBFS used as a binder and partial cement replacing material in concrete with 1% superplasticizer and a constant 0.48 w/c ratio. GGBFS used as 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10% and 12.5% in interval of 2.5% by weight of cement. Mechanical behavior evaluated in terms of compressive strength, flexural strength, and splitting tensile strength. From the results, it is detected compressive, flexural, and splitting tensile strength for GGBFS mix was better to compare to control concrete. Maximum compressive strength was achieved at 10% replacement of cement with GGBFS. Overall performance of GGBFS made concrete is satisfactory and it can be recommended for the production of sustainable concrete.
