Abstract: Countries like India and China are facing problem of pollution due to large construction works in recent times. Ordinary Portland cement which is used in Concrete releases plethora of carbon dioxide (CO2) in atmosphere during manufacturing. This paper presents an experimental study of compressive and flexural strength of concrete prepared with Ordinary Portland Cement, partially replaced by ground granulated blast furnace slag in different proportions varying from 0% to 50% of GGBS Concrete for M25 and M40 grade of concrete at room temperature for 7 ,14 and 28 day respectively. From the experiment I was found that Compressive strength and Flexural strength of GGBS concrete increased at 40 % of GGBS and further addition of GGBS, concrete showed marginal decrease in compressive and flexural strength.
