Experimental Study on Utilization of Blast Furnace Sl*G in Concrete

Abstract

Experimental Study On Utilization Of Blast Furnace Sl*G In Concrete Significant development in Infrastructures leads to production of concrete is more compare to all material. Cement and aggregates both are significant ingredients in concrete. In manufacture of cement, large amount of carbon dioxide is released so it causes global warming.

Usage of river sand in great demand causes depletion of natural resources, some industrial waste can be used partially to resolve these problems. The utilization of waste material from the industries has been continuously emphasized in the project work. The present work is to use GGBS (Ground granulated Blast furnace slag) and steel slag as combined replacement for ordinary Portland cement and river sand respectively.

Conclusion

After completion of this project it is concluded that, 0% GGBS Replacement with cement and 10%, 20%, 30% & 40% Replacement steel slag with sand, It was found to be compressive strength of concrete has greater strength when 0% GGBS replacement with cement and 30% steel slag replacement with fine aggregates.
