Experimental Study on Usage of Steel Mill Scrap to Enhance the Mechanical Properties of Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
in this project, we aim to reduce the landfill due to the high accumulation of steel mill scrap, at various dump yards located at chennai, and at other cities. The accumulation of the lathe scrap also contaminates the land and the groundwater due to the lathe oil in them. The addition of the steel mill scrap to concrete enhances the mechanical properties of concrete. The concrete was casted as four batches, control mix, 10 kg/cu.m addition of the steel mill scrap, 20 kg/cu.m addition and 30kg/cu.m addition. The 30 kg addition of steel scrap showed a higher percentage of increase in the compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths than the other mixes. There was a 35 – 15 % increase in the compressive strength of the 30 kg addition mix to that of control mix, as the concrete sample aged. There was no significant increase in the split tensile strength of the concrete. There was also a slight increase in the flexural strength in the batches of 10 kg addition and 30 kg addition of the steel mill scrap. The 20 kg addition of the steel mill scrap had no changes in the flexural strength from the control mix.
