Brick powder and other waste particles not only occupy land but also create environmental problems. The problem could be reduced to a large extent by using these waste materials in cement concrete. The reason of using brick powder include economical gain. Experimental results indicate that brick powder could be used for partial replacement of cement in concrete. Cement is replaced by waste brick powder in different proportions 5% 10% 15% and 20%. Silica fume is added 10% of concrete. To determine the mechanical properties such as compressive strength, flexural strength, split tensile strength and durability test. The presence of brick powder shows that certain properties of concrete could be improved by using brick in combination with ordinary Portland cement. In this study physical properties of cement, brick powder, fine and coarse aggregate, and silica fume are studied. Specific gravity, sieve analysis, bulk density, bulking of sand, water absorption, moisture content test, fineness of cement, cement consistency initial and final setting time of cement were tested.
