In lieu of exponential infrastructure growth, the demand for raw materials has grown tremendously. Unchecked, exploitation of resources for concrete production has led to the environmental crisis. This study aims to analyze the use of alternative materials to replace fine aggregate in concrete production. Natural Sand, Stone Dust (Grey) and Stone Dust (Brown) are used to caste cube, cylinder and rectangular beams to test compressive, tensile and flexural strengths respectively. Among aforementioned fine aggregates natural sand, sourced from river beds, is extensively used in the Uttar Pradesh (India). The 7 and 28-day strength achieved by replacing natural sand with stone dust for M 25 is comparable and thus it can be used as fine aggregate. Thus Stone dust which isa waste product from quarries can be utilized in concrete production. This will result in not only reduced pressure on natural sand extraction from river beds but also solving the problem of waste disposal in stone quarries.
