Abstract Rapid growth in infrastructure development across the globe has led to an exponential increase in cement consumption, posing serious environmental and health concerns. The present study investigates the feasibility of partially replacing Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) in M40-grade concrete with three industrial waste materials: Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS), Ladle Furnace Slag (LFS), and Sugarcane Bagasse Ash (SCBA). Concrete specimens were prepared with varying replacement levels ranging from 5% to 50% for individual materials and in combined proportions. Compressive strength was evaluated at 7 and 28 days of curing, while split tensile strength was recorded at 28 days. Results indicate that 10% GGBS replacement yields a 12% gain in 28-day compressive strength, 15% LFS replacement achieves an optimum compressive strength of 44.89 MPa, and 15% SCBA replacement delivers the highest 28-day compressive strength of 48.67 MPa. A combination of 5% GGBS, 10% LFS, and 15% SCBA in a ternary blend exhibited a compressive strength of 46.50 MPa, demonstrating that up to 30% of cement can be substituted without compromising structural performance. Furthermore, an 18% reduction in concrete production cost was achieved through this green concrete approach. The outcomes of this research offer a sustainable, economical, and environment-friendly pathway for rigid pavement construction.
