This paper presents the preliminary data for making green concrete using ekkomaxx as the binding material. This paper presents the mechanical properties of green concrete such as compressive strength, flexural strength, splitting tensile, and modulus of elasticity for various binder levels. The compressive strength vs. Water-to-Binder ratio (W/B) is developed to facilitate green concrete mix design with ekkomaxx in future. One Portland cement concrete mix as a control mix and nine Green Concrete mixes with ekkomaxx are presented. The relation between compressive strength and other mechanical properties such as flexural strength, MOE and split tensile strength are established and compared with various Portland cement concrete models of similar nature.
