Abstract: Civil Engineering is a field of great responsibility. Due to increase in population construction rate has increased to a whole new level. Use of concrete is made in almost every construction. This rapid use has led to a lot of waste creation of concrete. To help reduce this we should adopt a way to reuse this concrete and help wastage in nature. The reuse of such concrete is termed as ‘ Concrete Recycling’. In this the new concrete is made using used up concrete from leftovers of slabs and columns. By using this method the construction of light weight concrete is made possible. Light weight concrete is a concrete which has a much less density than conventional concrete. This helps in reduction of self weight of structure. Using building debris and constructing light weight concrete will help this project achieve the motive of being environmental friendly and also a structure which has less self weight.
