ABSTRACT-Concrete is the most popular binding material that is being used for many years and is serving the purpose of binding very effectively. Concrete doesn’t represent a single material. It is the combination of binding material, aggregates, and water. Concrete has many applications in design and construction industries. It has become indispensable and very popular because of its accessibility and ease of manufacturing. Even though numerous binding materials have been invented in the construction industry, the usage of this wonderful material has not decreased but has been increasing every day. But in the recent days, the manufacture of concrete ingredients is posing many problems. This study examined the effect of walnut shells of walnut as fine aggregate on the fresh and hardened properties of cement mortar before and after being subjected to elevated temperatures.

Key Words: Concrete ,Cement walnut shell , Compressive strength, Flexural strength
