Cement, sand and coarse aggregate are the basic ingredients for any construction. Sand is a prime material used for preparation of mortar and concrete and which plays a major role in mix design. Now a day’s erosion of rivers and considering environmental issues there is a scarcity of river sand. The less availability or shortage of river sand will affect the construction industry. Hence there is a need to find the new alternatives to river sand. There is a need of different materials to replace fine aggregate and one of the major materials is locally available soil. Laterite soil is one of the easily available local soils and using different proportion of available soil along with river sand the required concrete mix can be obtained. The investigation presents, the result of an experimental program to study the strength performance of lateric concrete.
