Abstract

Concrete is the most regularly used man-made material on earth. It is an Important construction material used extensively in building, bridge, roads, and dams. The Ferrochrome slag (FeCr) is another material which can be used as coarse aggregate in concrete. Ferrochrome slag is the outgrowth of waste generated from the ferrochrome steel plant. The Ferrochrome slag having good mechanical and engineering properties acceptable for utilization as aggregate material in concrete. In the present study, Ferrochrome Slag is evaluated for its suitability to partly supersede the coarse aggregate in M25 and M35 Grade concrete. Current study is concentrating on the consequences of Ferrochrome Slag on the properties of concrete such as compressive strength, durability, water absorption, workability. The result foretells after using ferrochrome slag along with partial concrete shows higher strength and durability compared to conventional coarse concrete.
