India is very fast developing nation, and construction plays vital role in developing the nation. In construction, concrete is the majorly useful material. Fine aggregate used in concrete like traditional UHPC causes several environmental issues like floods due changes the direction of river flow, effect on biological diversity, falling water table also . In current time millions of tons of waste materials disposed in open environment which causes several health as well as waste disposal problems. We can use waste material like Bakelite as the partial replacement of fine aggregate. The purpose of this study is to find whether the use of Bakelite in concrete improve its compressive strength as a partial replacement in conventional M25 grade concrete Mix. From 2010 to 2020, river sand usage in Indian construction sector increased from 630 to 1400 Tons . This type of usage is very harmful for our next generation also that’s why many states in India like Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra have banned the river sand mining for use in concrete. Paver Blocks & Solid Blocks are manufactured using waste Bakelite as a partial replacement of fine aggregate with the percentage of 3%,6%,9%,12%,15%,18% . Tests are conducted to examine its strength, Workability and compared with conventional material.
