    In recent scenario, to improve the lifespan of concrete constructions, wide extensive research works are being carried out using nanomaterials. This study explores that mineral admixtures are used to partially substitute cement, especially zeolite and nano‐ferric oxide, in varying proportions, along with the incorporation of polypropylene granules into concrete. Experimental findings indicate that optimal dosages of zeolite and Fe 2 O 3 were determined by evaluating compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and modulus of elasticity. Further, the mechanical and durability studies have been carried out using the cubes of concrete made with optimal dosage of zeolite and nano‐ferric oxide incorporating various percentages (0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%) of polypropylene granules. Results showed that the optimal dosage of zeolite is 10.0% and Fe 2 O 3 is 1.0% which improves various mechanical properties of concrete. Durability studies were conducted using the ternary materials such as 10.0% zeolite, 1.0% Fe 2 O 3 , and various proportions (0.5%, 1.0%, and 1.5%) of polypropylene granules. Cubes prepared using zeolite, Fe 2 O 3 , and 1.0 percent granules of polypropylene show notable improvements in their durability and mechanical qualities.
