Abstract: Concrete is an important building material that is indispensable in our daily lives. Due to the scarcity of natural materials, the cost of construction using traditional materials is very high today. Concrete consumption and construction costs are increasing rapidly every day. Cement has excellent adhesion and is ideal for concrete. On the other hand, cement production consumes a large amount of energy and emits a large amount of greenhouse gas (CO2). So, experts searched for a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to cement. The overall goal of this research is to find waste wood with desirable properties when mixed with concrete. Industrial by-products such as ground granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume, glass powder, rice husk ash, Meta-kaolin, and fly ash provide excellent binding characteristics to concrete that can be used in place of cement. Using these materials not only reduces cement consumption but also helps to ensure proper disposal. This study explores the impact of various substitutes for cement, some of which can be used as substitutes. If the strength of the newly produced eco-friendly cement is higher than that of ordinary concrete, it will be suitable for future construction work.
