Influence of Steel Slag on Mechanical Properties of Concrete Jagadeswaran S1, Jeningshon V2, Prabhu K3, Ramesh C4, Manivel A5, Sriram R6 1,2,3,4,5,6 Third Year Students, Department of Civil Engineering, Vidyaa Vikas College of Engineering and Technology, Tiruchengode, India 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.

An Experimental Attempt in Concrete with Industry Sludge Nanthakumar K1, Pradeeprajan S2, Pragadeesh I3, Venkatesan S4, Vignesh M5, Anusuya S6 1,2,3,4,5,6 Third Year Students, Department of Civil Engineering, Vidyaa Vikas College of Engineering and Technology, Tiruchengode, India Abstract: Leaving the industrial waste to the environment directly cause environmental problems. Waste can be used to produce new products or can be used as the admixtures so that natural resources are used more efficient and the environment is protected from waste deposits. Rapid Industrialization and Urbanization is causing serious environmental problems to the environment. One of the major concerns amongst these is safe and sound disposal of solid wastes. The treatment of effluents from the production of textile industries results in sludge generation from the treatment plant which poses a huge challenge for its disposal. Therefore, an attempt is made to initialize them in an effective way In this experimental investigation, an attempt has been made to investigate the behaviour of concrete and its mechanical properties with replacement of cement with textile sludge. The outcomes show there is a possibility in accommodating the sludge in concrete by solidification. This report is meant for discussion of beneficial utilization of textile industrial sludge waste with conventional building material in Construction application. From this study, the use of the textile sludge has identified for structural and non-structural applications by conducting future experimental studies.
