**1. Introduction**

The industry of construction is one of the booming economic sectors on the planet now a day. The sector comprehends constructions of horizontal and vertical structural elements. In Ethiopia, it was happened the same, since the governmental policy support infrastructure development projects to realize the transformation to the industry from agricultures. Due to this an exploitation of naturally deposited resources for concrete imputes becomes the main agenda for the government advanced than the other. Beyond this, concrete is concrete a blend of aggregates that id either crushed stone or gravel or sand or blending of them and cement past which mixture of cement, water, chemical admixture, and cementitious materials. The paste contains cement and water and sometimes other cementitious and chemical admixtures, whereas the aggregates contain sand and gravel or crushed stone. The cement paste in the concrete helps to make strong bonds between aggregate particles. Aggregates, major ingredients of concrete by volume, are comparatively inactive fillers material that has a share of about 68–85% of concrete and can therefore be expected to influence its properties. The cement which is among the main concrete ingredient plays an excellent role but is that the costliest and environmentally inimical material.

Since that cement production requires high consumption energy and leads to discharges of greenhouse gas, there continues to be a global search for new binders and admixtures that could partially replace traditional ordinary hydraulic cement

and improve the environmental sustainability and sturdiness of concrete structures. The application of left-over by-products in construction materials as replacement of concrete constitutes become an attractive alternative to disposal and an eco-friendly solution to the challenges concerning the exploitation and shortage of non-renewable natural resources in the globe.

Sustainability is demarcated as a combination of environment, economy, and society, and among this parameter for development with sustainability, the environment is the dominant one due to deterioration of our environment is driving the current worldwide focus on sustainable development. Generally, almost all scholars agreed definitions of sustainability are "Meeting the desires of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs." As shown in **Figure 1**, to have sustainable construction outputs, there should be a balance among environmental (ecological), social and economic aspects of building (construction) activities.
