This project aims to make concrete more ecofriendly by using waste materials that are usually thrown away. In this study, pineapple leaf residue (PLA) is used to replace part of the cement, and date seed husk granules (DSHG) are used to replace part of the coarse aggregate in concrete. Pineapple leaves are first dried and burned to form fine ash, which contains silica and other minerals that can partly act like cement. Date seeds are cleaned, dried, crushed, and used as a lightweight replacement for stone aggregate. Different mixes are prepared by replacing cement with 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% pineapple leaf residue, and replacing coarse aggregate with 0%, 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, and 12.5% date seed husk granules. Tests are carried out to check the workability, compressive strength, split tensile strength, water absorption, and density of the concrete by using M30 grade of concrete. The results are compared with normal concrete to see how the waste materials affect its performance. The study helps in reducing construction waste, saving natural resources, and promoting the use of agricultural waste materials in the production of sustainable concrete. The experimental results are expected to show that small to moderate replacement levels can maintain acceptable strength while reducing the weight of concrete by using M30 grade of concrete. The ash from pineapple leaves may improve the bonding in the cement matrix due to its fine particles and silica content, while the use of date seed husk granules reduces the use of natural stone and makes the concrete lighter. Though higher replacement levels may lower strength, the resulting concrete can still be suitable for non-structural applications such as paving blocks, lightweight walls, and partitions. This research shows that pineapple leaf residue and date seed husk granules can be valuable alternatives in concrete production, supporting environmental protection and sustainable construction practices.
