Abstract - Fine aggregate has been extensively used in the construction industry as a key component of concrete production. Although river sand is one of the major sources of fine aggregate, different sources exhibit different properties This research was conducted on a variety of river sands and alternative fine aggregates to assess their suitability for concrete manufacture. Four samples replacement level are being produced which contain the replacement of sand by substituting the first samples with 5 % of brick debris , second sample with 10 % of brick debris and third sample with 15 % , four sample with 20 % , 30 %  of brick debris. Many researchers are finding different materials to replace fine aggregate. Fine aggregates are weathered and worn out particles of rocks and are of various grades or sizes depending upon the amount of wearing. Now a Days fine aggregate is not readily available, it is transported from a long distance in rainy season non availability or shortage of fine aggregate will affect the construction industry, hence there is a need to find the new alternative material to replace the fine aggregate. Concrete is most material being used in infrastructure development throughout the world Fine Aggregate is a prime material used for preparation of mortar and concrete and which plays a major.
