The present experimental work deals with the investigation of partially replacing Nano-Silica with cement and fully replacing Natural coarse aggregate with Recycled coarse aggregate. The experiment consists of comparing the conventional concrete (cement + NCA) with the partially replaced cement with Nano-Silica 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% and fully replaced NCA with RCA concrete. The comparison was in terms of compressive strength, flexural strength & split tensile strength with curing of specimen for 7 & 28 Days. On addition of Nano-Silica and RCA there were positive results in experiment.
