Abstract

This paper deals with the influence of partial replacement of cement with iron dust and addition of steel fibers, Iron dust otherwise known as iron ore finds. Iron dust is an industrial by-products obtained from steel factories. It is a waste material. It is used as a pozzolanic material in concrete to improve the strength. It is important to maintain the particle size of iron dust. It is replaced with cement so the size of iron dust should be less than 0.75 micron. Steelfiber is produced from steel industries as a main product. The addition of steel fiber improves the mechanical properties of concrete. Steel fibers are used to reduce the initial cracks during shrinkage. Iron dust is partially replaced instead of as an alternate. Then the concrete is subjected to various tests in order to find the compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength.
