        abstract = {This study investigates the viability of using agricultural cow dung ash and industrial waste phosphogypsum as partial replacements for cement in high-performance concrete, focusing on assessing the mechanical properties through compressive strength test. With the aim of promoting sustainable construction practices and mitigating environmental impacts, researchers are exploring alternative materials for concrete production. Agricultural waste, like cow dung, and industrial byproducts such as phosphogypsum, offer potential solutions for improving concrete performance while addressing waste disposal challenges. The pozzolanic reaction involves the interaction between pozzolanic materials and calcium hydroxide in the presence of water, leading to the development of supplementary cementitious compounds. Experimental concrete mix designs are developed by introducing varying proportions of cow dung ash and phosphogypsum as partial replacements for cement. These mix designs are meticulously formulated to identify optimal replacement levels that strike a balance between enhancing mechanical properties and potential material challenges. The subsequent compressive, flexural, and split tensile tests evaluate the performance of the concrete under different loading conditions. Cow Dung ash replacement was typically ranging from 0% to 15% of cement content, starting conservatively and gradually increasing based on testing. Phosphogypsum replacement is generally falls between 0% to 15% of cement content, considering its impact on concrete setting and properties.},
