There is a need to conserve the natural resources and prevention of environment for the future generation. The major problem arising in now a day is disposal of wastes from industries. In our project we have made an attempt to use the wastes generated in the construction field. By use of waste materials, the cost of construction could be reduced to a reasonable manner. We have made use of tiles as replacement material for coarse aggregate and crusher dust is used as alternative for sand. In this study we have partially replaced the fine aggregate by crusher dust at the percentage of 6 %, 12%, 18 %, 24% and have founded the optimum percentage of replacement and we have proceeded it by having a constant percentage alternative of sand with partial alternative of gravel by waste tiles at the percentage of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20 for M20 concrete. A total number of 96 specimens were cast compression, tensile and flexural strength were founded. There by we conclude that the waste tiles and crusher dust could be used as alternative materials for sand and gravel in concrete. And we have found that the partial replacement of sand and gravel by 24% and 15% by crusher dust and waste tiles is optimum.
