        abstract = {The increasing generation of construction and demolition (C&D) waste has posed significant environmental challenges, necessitating sustainable solutions in the construction industry. This study investigates the potential of partially replacing coarse aggregate with construction and demolition waste in concrete to enhance its strength and sustainability. Experimental analysis was conducted to evaluate the mechanical properties of concrete, such as compressive strength, tensile strength, and flexural strength, at varying replacement ratios. In this study, different mixes of concrete were prepared by placing  coarse aggregate with in Broken Tiles , Recycled Coarse aggregate , percentages of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% . To complement the experimental findings, advanced simulations were performed using ANSYS software to analyze stress distribution and deformation under load. The results demonstrate that partial replacement of coarse aggregate with construction and demolition waste can achieve comparable or improved structural performance while reducing the environmental footprint of concrete production. The ANSYS simulations validated the experimental data, providing insights into the material behavior and optimizing the replacement ratio. This study contributes to the development of sustainable construction practices and emphasizes the feasibility of integrating construction and demolition waste into concrete as a step toward circular economy principles.},
