In present scenario concrete is highly consumed material in construction field due to its advantages, because of this the natural resources are depleting day by day at an alarming rate and there is an immediate need for finding alternate materials to the natural materials in concrete. In this paper an effort is made to find alternate partial replacement materials for cement and fine aggregate (FA). M40 grade concrete is adopted and the cement was replaced with egg shell powder with different percentages of 5%, 10% and 15%. The optimum percentage egg shell powder (ESP) is obtained at 10%. At optimum ESP the FA is replaced with Quarry Dust (QD) with percentages of 25%, 50%and75%. The maximum strength properties are obtained at 10% ESP and 50% QD and the concrete is also durable at 10% ESP and 50% QD with Water Cement Ratio is 0.38.
