EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH TO ENHANCE MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE USING STEEL INDUSTRY WASTE AS CEMENT REPLACEMENT

Since last few decades, sustainable development is in demand because of global warming and CO2 emission. Different industrial sector developing fast to introduce advanced technology, which are also facing waste disposal problem. the waste disposal problem of different sector is responsible for environmental pollution. Efforts are introduced to minimize environmental pollution as well as waste management concept, concrete production is made possible by replacing cement with different industrial waste like ceramic waste, steel industry waste, slag, marble slurry, rice husk etc. in this experimental study, the effect of steel industry waste in a powder form is examined to produce concrete. To achieve main objectives of the study, waste was collected from steel industry and converted into powder which can pass through 90 micron IS Sieve. the powder form of waste was tested chemically and mechanically first with cement replacement. 50 % cement replacement is done with the waste powder to produce sustainab properties of powder with 50 % cement replacement were checked and then used in concrete to check concrete strength such as compressive strength, Tensile strength, shear strength, flexural strength and days interval in normal curing condition. Effect of water cement ratio was checked by taking trails to achieve M20 grade concrete. the experimental results gave enhanced strength of concrete containing 50 % containing concrete. this study revealed that the waste from steel industry in a powder form enhancing the fresh and harden properties of concrete. from this research work waste disposal management is shown by usin considering environment prevention.
