The construction industries rely heavily on the availability of sand and cement for its operations in the development of houses and other infrastructural facilities. It then turns into extremely complicate for majority of the people to construct their own buildings. Various researchers in the recent past had looked into the utilization of industrial wastes to partially substitute of sand and cement. The partial replacement of cement with GGBS and sand with Mild Steel Metal Waste (MSMW) in the manufacturing of concrete is a greet development in India. The cost of GGBS and MSMW is negligible due to their availability in huge volume from the industries. The utilization of GGBS and MSMW will promote waste management at little cost, reduce pollution and enhance the strength. Therefore it is suggested to determine the mechanical properties of concrete containing various proportions of GGBS and MSMW. The main objective of this study is to investigate the suitability of GGBS and MSMW as partial replacement for cement and sand in concrete. The research results reports that when the cement and sand replaced with GGBS and MSMW, the maximum compressive strength of concrete cube was achieved when the cement and sand are replaced using both GGBS and MSMW at 5% respectively. At the same time, maximum splitting tensile strength of concrete cylinder was obtained when the cement and sand are replaced using both GGBS and MSMW at 10% respectively.
