| Popis: | An experimental work was carried out to study the effect of Energy Optimizing Furnace (EOF) steel slag as coarse aggregate replacement in concrete. Surface modification of slag was carried out to seal the surface voids of raw slag aggregates. Quarry dust obtained as an extractive waste from the granite stone quarries has been used as a blending material in this work. After several trials, it was found that a mix proportion of 1:6:14 (cement:quarry dust:slag aggregate) was the most suitable mix ratio for the surface modification of the slag aggregates. Various mixes of concrete were prepared with different proportions of modified slag (ranging from 0% to 100%) as replacements for aggregates. Three grades of concrete (20 MPa, 30 MPa and 40 MPa) were used in the investigation and the concrete mixes were evaluated for compressive strength and splitting tensile strength. It was found that the compressive strength improved for 25 percent replacement of natural coarse aggregates. The splitting tensile strength was found to peak at 25 percent replacement of natural aggregates. |
