In this experimental study, main focus is improvement of construction and demolished (C&D) waste aggregate performance and quality, especially decreasing water absorption and improve interfacial transition zone (ITZ) with reducing cost. M25 grade concrete is taken in this experiment study and natural coarse aggregate were replaced with untreated C&D waste coarse aggregate and treated C&D waste coarse aggregate in different percentages. Basic tests were done on untreated C&D waste aggregate, treated C&D waste aggregates and compared with natural aggregate. Similarly, the properties of concrete containing three different types of aggregates were evaluated to determine their characteristics. The observed results show that the utilization of treated C&D waste aggregate improves the mechanical and physical properties.
