Abstract

In the current scenario, the disposal problem of industrial by-products has become an environmental issue due to the pollution caused. The fine aggregate was replaced with seven percentages (0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%) and cement was replaced with 0, 10 and 15% of silica fume by weight. The compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength were determined at 7, 28 days. The test results indicate significant improvement in the strength properties of plain concrete by the inclusion of steel slag and silica fume as partial replacement of fine aggregate and cement can be effectively used in structural concrete. Based on overall observations, it could be recommended that slag could be effectively utilized as fine aggregate in all the concrete applications.
