Recycle and reuse of construction and demolition waste (crushed brick masonry waste-recycled fine aggregate (RFA)) as replacement for fine aggregate is one of the effective methods to reduce the environmental effects due their landfills. To experimentally explore the feasibility of using RFA as a replacement of fine aggregate, this paper investigates the property of fresh concrete like workability and properties of hardened concrete like compressive strength, split tensile strength, density test and water absorption test. Four mixes of different percentage replacement of fine aggregate were used (20%, 40%, 60%, 80% RFA in concrete) and was compared with the standard mix (0% RFA) to find the change in the above properties.
