Abstract

Due to the growing population, housing, transportation, the demand of concrete is increasing day by day. The local Ferrochrome slag is one of the alternative materials which can be used as coarse aggregate in concrete. The raw material in the production of Ferrochrome is chromite and iron oxides. Ferrochrome slag is the bi-product of waste generated from the ferrochrome steel plant. The Ferrochrome slag having mechanical and engineering properties suitable for utilization as aggregate material in concrete. In the present study, Ferrochrome Slag is assessed for its suitability to partially replace the coarse aggregate in M25 and M35 Grade concrete. Current study is focused on the effect of Ferrochrome Slag on the properties of concrete such as compressive strength, durability, workability. The result predicted after using ferrochrome slag along with partial concrete shows higher strength and durability compared to traditional coarse concrete.
