Abstract – In an effort to lessen its impact on the environment, the construction sector is continuously looking for sustainable substitutes for conventional building materials. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Kota stone waste aggregate (KSWA) can be used in concrete in place of conventional coarse aggregate. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the durability and mechanical qualities of concrete mixtures with different KSWA percentages. Compressive strength, flexural strength, and water absorption of concrete specimens with 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% replacement of coarse aggregate with KSWA are all tested as part of the experimental program. To assess the possible advantages and disadvantages of utilising KSWA, the outcomes are contrasted with those of standard concrete.

Key Words: fine aggregate , natural aggregates, compressive strength, workability.
