An experimental investigation of partial replacement steel slag in concrete as a fine aggregates

Abstract

The environment problems are very common in India due to generation of industrial by-products. Due to industrialization enormous by-products are produced and to utilize these by-products is the main challenge faced in India. Iron slag is one of the industrial by-product from the iron and steel making industries. In this paper, the compressive strength of the iron slag concrete was studied. The results confirm that the use of iron slag overcome the pollution problems in the environment. The results shows that the iron slag added to the concrete had greater strength than the plain concrete.
