Abstract: Sulfur concrete, a composite material derived from elemental sulfur, aggregates, and additives, presents a promising avenue for sustainable construction practices. This project report investigates the properties, feasibility, and potential applications of sulfur concrete as a viable alternative to traditional cement-based concrete. Through a comprehensive literature review and experimental analysis, this study elucidates the unique mechanical, chemical, and environmental characteristics of sulfur concrete. The implications of adopting sulfur concrete extend beyond construction efficiency to environmental sustainability, resource conservation, and cost-effectiveness. Challenges such as odor emissions during production and limited availability of sulfur are also addressed, along with potential solutions. Overall, this report advocates for further research and widespread adoption of sulfur concrete as a viable solution to meet the demands of modern construction while mitigating environmental impact.

Keywords: Sulfur Concrete, Construction Efficiency, Cost- Effectiveness, Environmental Impact.
