Mining waste disposal poses a serious environmental issue globally, with waste often dumped openly, leading to pollution, soil contamination, and ecosystem damage. To tackle this, the construction industry is exploring the use of mining waste in concrete production, addressing both waste management and resource scarcity. Concrete’s adaptability makes it suitable for incorporating industrial waste, replacing cement and natural river sand. This study examines zinc tailing waste as a partial cement substitute and dolomite waste as a partial or full river sand replacement, evaluating six concrete mixes with different water-to-cement ratios. Findings show that, while zinc tailing and dolomite waste generally reduce mechanical and durability properties, a mix with 5% zinc tailing and 10% dolomite waste offers comparable performance to standard concrete. This sustainable approach shows potential for cost-effective applications in concrete, paver blocks, and pavements, benefiting both construction and mining industries.
