Abstract: Sustainability and resource efficiency are becoming increasing important issues within today’s construction industry. This paper is mainly focused on making an effort to use LD Slag which is an industrial waste by-product of Steel industry. An experimental investigation was carried out to evaluate the effect of replacing fine aggregate by LD Slag on mechanical properties of concrete and on flexural behaviour of RCC beams. Fine aggregate (sand) was replaced with six percentages (15%, 30%, 45%, 60%, 80% and 100%) of LD Slag by volume in M40 grade of concrete with water-cement ratio (w/c) 0.4. The test results indicated that fine aggregate replacement using 45 percent LD Slag showed a better performance compared to control mix. The concrete mix with 45% of LD Slag was considered to cast the reinforced concrete beams. The beams casted were tested for flexure, under two point loading condition. Different structural parameters were investigated.
