ABSTRACT Natural sand deposits are being used up and causing serious threat to environment as well as the society. Traditionally, river sand has been the main source of supply but the restrictions now imposed by the Green Tribunal because of environmental degradation causing so many problems like losing water retaining soil strata, deepening of the riverbed sand causing bank slides, loss of vegetation on the bank of rivers, disturbs the aquatic life as well as disturb agriculture due to lowering the water table in the well etc. are some of the examples. Several studies have been conducted concerning the protection of natural resources, prevention of environmental pollution and contribution to the economy by using these industrial by- products. The pollution effect on the environment can be reduced by increasing the usage of industrial byproducts in our construction industry. This paper focus on investigating behavior of M60 Grade Portland slag cement (PSC) concrete by fully and partial replacement of fine aggregate by Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GBFS). Cubes, cylinders and beams are tested for compressive, split tensile and flexural strength after 7 and 28, days curing. Replacement percentage of fine aggregate by GBFS are 30, 50, 80 and 100 percent respectively. Water cement ratio used in this work is 0.32 and slump to be obtained 100mm. Based on the test results it is recommended GBFS can be replaced 100% against crushed sand and river sand in high grade concretes(M60) by using mineral admixtures(silica fume). As per the experiment, the
