    The recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) can be utilized in concrete, which leads to produce a sustainable development in construction industry. On the utilization of recycled coarse aggregate minimize the amount of construction waste deposition towards environment. Also contemporary knowledge is agreed chance to progress the recycling material usage. The current research work has to access the effect of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) containing 30% quantities of RCA with different quantities of reduced graphene oxide and to find the optimal percentage of reduced graphene oxide for RAC. The concrete mixtures formed by replacing the natural coarse aggregates(NCA) with 30% RCA and cement having 0%, 0.3%, 0.6% and 0.9% of reduced graphene oxide. The mechanical properties present in the study include compressive strength and split tensile strength each evaluate after 28 days of curing all concrete mixes will be investigated. It provides a vibrant understanding on in what way it can be applied to progress the usage of 30% RCA with reduced graphene oxide content in concrete.

    Crusher sand or Manufactured sand (M-Sand) obtained from stone aggregate quarries is widely used as fine aggregate in concrete to avoid the depletion of natural river sand. To avoid air and land pollution due to direct dumping of wastes in open land area from granite processing industries and thermal power stations, the behavior of reinforced concrete beam without waste (RC beam) and with waste (RCW beam) materials like granite powder (10%) and bottom ash (10%) as combined partial replacement for M-Sand was carried out. The parameters like load carrying capacity, ductility, energy absorption capacity and stiffness degradation were evaluated. The behavior of all the parameters of both the beams was similar and there was slight decrease (10%) in strength parameters due to increase in fine pore particles. Hence, the granite powder and bottom ash can be used as partial replacement for fine aggregate in building constructions.

    In this research Quarry (manufactured) sand is used as hundred per cent substitutes to the river sand. Pozzolona Portland Cement was replaced by silica fume (10% by weight) and hyperplasticizer with varying percentage by weight of binder was added to obtain medium workability. In modern thermal power plants, 20% of ash is fed into the bottom of boilers. To solve the problem of the bottom ash disposal from the power plant, the investigations were carried out for the possibility of using bottom ash as partial replacement (10% - 50%) of manufactured sand (M-Sand) in concrete. Mechanical properties, such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of M60 concrete (Grade of mix 60N/mm2) were evaluated. The result showed that use of bottom ash improves the strength of concrete at later ages.
