Emergent countries employ the broad toughened building resources such as plastic powder, silica fume and other ingredients in concrete. In accumulation, steel slag has been introduced as an alternative of coarse aggregate to put together concrete encompass good possessions. This paper describes the results of a coordinated work carried out using plastic powder, steel slag and silica fume to form the concrete. New research on concrete mix M20 was carried out for 7, 28 days by 0 ( zero) percent, 10 percent, 20 percent, 30 percent replacement of fine aggregate by plastic powder, similarly steel slag was replaced by coarse aggregate and their mechanical properties of concrete were addressed by 10 percent addition of silica fume by cement credence. Bending strength has been addressed for 7 days, 28 days depending on the optimum amount of replacement of concrete strength. Depending on the optimum prescribed amount of replacement in concrete strength, flexural strength has been addressed for 7, 28 days. The experimental and finite element analysis results have been analyzed using computational techniques.
