Concrete Mix Design Using Steel slag and glass waste

Abstract

The project outlines the study on finding the possibilities of using waste materials in construction. The materials needed for the research were collected, and necessary material tests were carried out. Steel slag is used as the partial replacement (10% steel slag and 90% natural aggregate) of coarse aggregate in one mix, and glass waste is used to substitute the fine aggregate fully in another mix. Concrete mix design was done manually to obtain mix proportions using two waste materials for M15 and M20. Compressive strength tests and split tensile strength tests of concrete blocks were conducted, and the results obtained were checked against standard requirements.
