Concrete a widely used, strong and versatilely mould able construction material consist of binding material, aggregates, and water. Concrete can be made of different binding materials but in the present scenario cement concrete is the most preferable concrete all over the world. Due to globalization and industrialization, the infrastructure growth is at a faster rate, which requires a huge amount for development. One of such overused construction material is cement concrete, the survey indicates that the concrete is the world's second most consumed material, after water. It shows that material consumption for the preparation of concrete is very high. Which will directly lead to overuse of natural resources, increasing environmental pollution and also raise the cost of construction The experimental investigation of OPC-53 grade replacement by GGBS 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and fly ash 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% then also adding polypropylene microfiber 1%. Tests on fresh properties and harden properties like compression, Tensile strength, Flexural strength was conducted. Superplasticizer was used to have good workability for all replacement levels. The mix design is carried out for M45 grade of concrete as per, IRC 44-2008
