        abstract = {The rapid growth of the construction industry has led to excessive consumption of natural resources and generation of large volumes of construction and demolition waste. In response to these challenges, the concept of green concrete has emerged as a sustainable alternative. This study presents a detailed experimental investigation on the use of Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA) as a partial replacement for natural coarse aggregates in concrete. Concrete mixes were prepared with replacement levels of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% RCA. Various tests were conducted to evaluate fresh and hardened properties, including slump, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, density, and water absorption. The results indicate that while mechanical properties decrease with increasing RCA content, satisfactory performance can be achieved up to 50% replacement. The study highlights the potential of recycled aggregate concrete as a sustainable construction material and provides insights into its practical applications.},
