        abstract = {This research focuses on the experimental evaluation of concrete in which a portion of ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is partially replaced with textile waste and Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), aiming to assess the feasibility of developing sustainable and environmentally friendly construction materials. The study explores the combined effects of these two supplementary materials on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete, particularly focusing on workability, setting time, compressive strength, and durability characteristics. Textile waste, a major environmental concern due to its non-biodegradable nature, is utilized in shredded or powdered form, while GGBS, an industrial byproduct from the steel manufacturing process, is known for its pozzolanic properties and cementitious behavior. The results of the study indicate that an optimal combination of textile waste and GGBS can lead to improved compressive strength, better workability, and enhanced durability, depending on the replacement level. Moreover, the utilization of these waste materials contributes significantly to reducing the environmental footprint of concrete production by lowering cement consumption and promoting waste recycling. The findings demonstrate that with proper mix design, textile waste and GGBS can serve as effective partial replacements for cement in concrete, offering both structural efficiency and environmental sustainability.},
