Building material is used worldwide in this world. Due to this, great demand had occurred in construction materials. Cement manufacturing produces the carbon dioxide that makes air pollution. Cement production stands second to automobile which is the major generator of carbon dioxide that pollutes the atmosphere. It produces global warming which results in ozone layer depletion and other environmental effects. In this situation we have to take steps for preventing these environmental effects. So we should take alternative method to prevent environmental effects. Alternatives must give good compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength to the concrete. Also it should be less in cost when compared to cement and it should not cause any environmental effects. India is a developing country and doing lot of research for building materials to find alternatives by using waste materials and easily available material. These materials are used as replacement and admixtures for getting good strength and durability of concrete. However we should find the proportion of the admixtures that gives good strength and durability of the concrete. Also note workability in different mix proportions by using slump test.
