Abstract
The demand for natural coarse aggregates and river sand in construction poses environmental challenges. This study examines the incorporation of recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) and manufactured sand (M-sand) in concrete production to mitigate these concerns. The research shows that a 50% substitution of RCA and M-sand enhances structural strength. However, at 75% and 100% substitution, a reduction in strength is observed. Utilizing RCA and M-sand reduces construction waste and landfill loads, making concrete production more sustainable.
