Sustainable building production includes the effective usage of natural materials by the processing of waste materials. The present work aims to use different waste materials, such as fly ash, industrial waste pond ash, rubber crumbs from rubber tires, recycled coarse aggregate from building waste. In doing so, the goal of reducing building costs will be achieved and can help to solve the issues connected with its disposal, particularly the environmental concerns of the area. Throughout this project, Rubber Crumbs (RC) and Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) were partly substituted instead of coarse aggregate with a percentage of 10, 15, 20, and 5, 10, 15, which were found to improve the flexural strength of concrete. Such products may also be used for renewable building purposes.
