Experimental Investigation on Partial Replacement of Steel Slag as Fine and Coarse Aggregate in Concrete Blocks

Abstract

The Amount Of Steel Slag Consumed Annually Has Been Growing Progressively In Utilization. Consequently, Slag Waste Usage Has Become One Among The Main Challenges In Recent Times. The Management And Usage Of Slag Waste Is Speedily Growing Because It May Be A Valuable Resource Of Industries And Its Terribly Unsafe Substances And With Low Usage Rate. The Employment Of Slag Waste Materials May Be A Partial Answer To Environmental And Ecological Issues, Because The Use Of Plastic Waste Can Reduce The Mixture Value And Provides A Good Strength For The Structures. It'll Reduces The Lowland Value And It Is Energy Saving. This Study Has Chosen Steel Slag Waste, To Analyse Its Potential Use As Slag Mixture In Concrete Application. The Waste Plastic Was Utilized In Concrete With Partial Replacement Of 21%, 23% And 25% By Volume Of Standard Coarse Aggregate. The Tests Were Conducted On Block Prepared With Course Aggregate, Fine Aggregate, Steel Slag, M-Sand, And Cement To Their Property I.E. Compressive Strength. 3 Varieties Of Concrete Specimens Each Type 3 Blocks, For Comparison Purpose, Were Ready. All The Concrete Specimens Were Tested For Its Completely Different Mechanical Properties After A Curing Period Of 7 Days. Moreover, It's Complete That The Utilization Of Steel Slag In Concrete Provides Some Benefits Like Reduction Within The Use Of Standard Mixture, Disposal Of Wastes, Prevention Of Environmental Pollution, And Energy Saving.
