Concrete is the third largest material consumed by
human beings after food and water.
Environment of this only living planet is wary of
pollution due to emissions of a host of green
house gases from industrial processes.
Due to demand for reducing overexploitation of
the natural quarries, the use of the by-products
from different industries has become an
increasing practice in the sustainable construction
industry.
ABSTRACT
Steel slag concrete mixes have very high
stabilities and satisfactory flows and
excellent stripping resistance.
Steel slag used as surface course has good
wear and skid resistance.
Steel slag mixes have good heat retention
and compatibility.
When in contact with moisture, steel slag has
a potentially expansive nature up to 10%
attributed to the hydration of the free Cao
and magnesium hydrates.

USE OF FURNACE SLAG AND WELDING SLAG
AS REPLACEMENT FOR SAND IN CONCRETE
Sreekrishnaperumal Thanga Ramesh*
In this project, a study was made to obtain low cost building
materials using industrial wastes (welding and furnace slags).
Different fine aggregate replacements have been studied by
substituting 5%, 10%, and 15% of slag.
Experimental studies were conducted only on plain cement concrete.
The preliminary studies were conducted by mixing the slag with the
cement concrete cubes of standard sizes.
The optimum compressive strength of concretes after 28 days has
been found to be 41 N/mm2 for 5% welding slag and 39.7 N/mm2
for 10% furnace slag replacements.

AGGREGATE: PERFORMANCE AFTER HIGH
TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE

Osijek, Croatia.
Due to demand for reducing overexploitation of the natural quarries,
the use of the by-products from different industries has become an
increasing practice in the sustainable construction industry.
Steelmaking slags are composed principally of calcium silicates,
calcium aluminof- errites, and fused calcium oxides, iron,
magnesium, and manganese.
Organic, semi-volatile and volatile compounds are not present in the
steel slag due to the fact that they are made at high temperatures
during production process.
Steel slag is generated as a melt at about 1600C during steelmaking
from hot metal in the amount of 15%20% per equivalent unit of
steel.
The function of this slag is to refine the steel of sulphur and to
absorb the oxides formed as a result of deoxidation during steel
production.
3.STUDY ON THE PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF FINE
AGGREGATE USING INDUCTION FURNACE SLAG
Ansu John and Elson John
Department of Civil Engineering, Mar Athanasius College of Engineering, Kothamangalam,
India.
In this study the compressive strength characteristics of mortar and
concrete made with partial replacement of fine aggregate using
induction furnace slag was considered.
The aggregates occupy almost 70-75 percent of the total volume of
concrete.
The civil engineering construction particularly in the field of
reinforced concrete has increased and as a consequence the
availability of aggregate has reduced by a large amount, which has
led to hike in its cost.
To meet the global demand of concrete in the future, it is becoming
a challenging task to find suitable alternative construction materials
which can fully or partially replace the natural aggregate without
affecting the property of concrete.

CONCLUSION
Material properties are studied based on the literatures
collected and the optimum mixture proportions are determined
by preparing a number of trial mixtures by varying proportions
of ingredients.
In this mix proportions for the partial replacement of fine
aggregate with steel slag are arrived.
And their performances of strength basis are determined. For
their results, the ratios of steel slag proportions of mixing of
25%, 50%, 75%.
For these ratios the ratio of 25% of steel slag is good
comparative strength to the conventional concrete.

The ratios of 50% and 75% should give low strength. For this
conclusion the steel slag mixed with the natural sand should be
limited to maximum 25%.
Because the natural river sand is the most important material
that is needed for the construction industry and the value is
more and more day by day.
In order to use the waste steel material to compensate the
usage of needs and economical to the environment.
