INTRODUCTION:
Improvement in mechanical and durability properties of concrete has
already been established due to use of industrial wastes replacing the
various ingredients of concrete partially or fully.
Concrete is the most widely used building material in the construction
sector and cement is the principal ingredient in concrete.
Two such wastes from the Ferroalloy industry are ferrochrome ash
(FA) and ferrochrome slag(FS). FS to the tune of 1–1.2 tonnes and FA
of 0.02–0.03 tonnes are generated during the production of each tonne
of ferrochrome product.
PROCEDURE:
Three samples were used for each test and the average result of
the three was considered. Workability in terms of slump was
determined as per
IS:7320 (1974) (Reaffirmed 2008) and IS:1199 (1959)
(Reaffirmed
2004). Compressive strength and flexural strength were
examined
as per IS:516 (1959) (Reaffirmed 2004).
The splitting tensile strength was determined as per IS:5816
(1999) (Reaffirmed 2004). A sorptivity test was conducted as
per ASTM C 642 (2006).
RESULTS:
Workability
Thus, workability increased on replacement of natural coarse aggregate
by FS aggregate, but decreased on inclusion of lime and FA.
COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH:
The same at 91 days and 180 days varied between 13.64% and
24.63%.
Compressive strength increased on replacement of natural aggregate by
FS aggregate.
FLEXURAL STRENGTH:
SORPTIVITY:
The sorptivity of concrete is a quantity that measures the unsaturated flow
of fluids into the concrete due to capillary suction, which gives indirect
information on the continuity of the pore system in the near-surface zone.
Conclusions:
The following conclusions are drawn from these investigations.
