Surface blast-cleaning waste as a replacement of fine aggregate in concrete
Journal Title: Architecture Civil Engineering Environment - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
In the article the possibility of using a surface blast-cleaning waste as a replacement of fine aggregate in concrete manu- facturing was presented. Concretes with w/c ratio 0.6 and 300 kg/m3 dosage of cements: CEM I 32.5R and CEM II/B-V 32.5N were tested. The quite high value of the w/c ratio resulted in good compactibility of the mixtures without use of plasticizer. The replacement rate of the fine aggregate (0–2 mm) with copper slag (CS) was 33%, 66% and 100% respectively. Concretes of the same composition served for reference except for with river sand as fine aggregate instead of slag. The performed tests focused on: compressive and tensile strength (both after 28 days), sorptivity, free water absorption capacity and abrasion resistance. The obtained results showed that the strength and some other tested properties of concretes with copper slag as sand replacement were similar or even better than that of the control mixtures.
