Abstract
River sand has been the most popular choice for the fine aggregate component of concrete in the past, but
overuse of the material has led to environmental concerns, Therefore, it is desirable to obtain cheap, environmentally
friendly substitutes for cement and river sand that are preferably by-products. This paper discusses about the use of
charcoal dust in concrete as a partial replacement of fine aggregates. Moreover it also discusses about the effect of
charcoal dust on workability and compressive strength of concrete.
