        abstract = {This study explores the feasibility and implications of partially replacing cement with alternative materials in concrete production. Concrete is a composite material composed of aggregate bonded together with a fluid cement that cures over time. Cement production, however, also generates most of concrete’s greenhouse gas emissions. In this investigation, superfines that is waste material from the rock sand industry is partially replaced in different proportions such as 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5% and 10% along with 10% GGBS in M25 Grade concrete and tested for Workability, Water Absorption, Compressive strength and Split tensile strength. The Durability of concrete was checked by performing Physical Salt Attack Test and Acid Attack Test so as to investigate the effect of Superfines and GGBS on durability of concrete. It was observed that the 5% replacement of cement with superfines and 10% GGBS resulted in an increase in the compressive strength and split tensile strength also follows the same pattern that the 5% replacement of cement with superfines resulted in an increase in strength slightly higher than the nominal concrete. It can be concluded that the superfines from rock sand industry can be used as a partial replacement of cement. It can be cost effective, eco-friendly to use and also the wastes from rock sand industry can be effectively recycled. The Compressive Strength was increased at 9.8% than Conventional Concrete Specimens.},
