• Rock quarries for aggregate harvesting are a major concern to ensure that the environment surrounding the quarries is not affected badly. This study evaluated suitable percentage of replacing natural aggregate with coated steel for concrete fabrication. Coated steel was substituted at 10, 15, and 20% and tested for splitting tensile strength test. The mechanical strengths were observed with the increasing of curing age, but reduced with the increment of coated steel in mixture. 10% substitution gave optimum mechanical tensile strength. The higher the percentage of coated steel in the concrete mixture, the weaker the mechanical strengths. Through this material replacement, the environment is protected by reduced aggregate mining.
