Abstract
The global construction industry is increasingly focused on sustainability, seeking materials that reduce environmental impact without compromising structural integrity. This study investigates the development of Green Self-Compacting Concrete (GSCC) by incorporating slag as a partial replacement for natural aggregates. The research examines the mechanical properties, workability, and durability of the GSCC, focusing on optimal slag replacement ratios. The findings demonstrate that partial slag replacement enhances compressive strength while significantly reducing the reliance on natural resources, thus providing a sustainable alternative to conventional concrete.
