Abstract
The study on the effect of using three different industrial by-product silica fume, bottom ash, and steel slag aggregate partial replacements for Cement, natural sand and Coarse aggregates in concrete. Through a series of experimental investigations, the researchers assess the optimal percentage of replacement for these materials by conducting compressive strength tests on cube and cylindrical specimens. Additionally, reinforced concrete beams are cast using the blended fine aggregate to analyze their behavior under flexural loading. The study includes determining ultimate strength, load-deflection characteristics, crack patterns, ductility, and flexural rigidity of the concrete beams. The outcomes are compared with control concrete beams to draw conclusions on the feasibility of substituting natural river sand with using three different industrial by-product silica fume, bottom ash, and steel slag aggregate in concrete production. An experimental investigation has been carried out to explore the possibility of using three different industrial by-product silica fume, bottom ash, and steel slag aggregate as a partial replacement of Cement, natural sand and Coarse aggregates in concrete. The goal of the current study is to determine the impact of replacing steel slag, bottom ash, and silica fume with coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and, cement respectively, on the performance of HPC. Here, M30-grade High Performance Concrete using three different industrial by-product silica fume, bottom ash, and steel slag aggregate was attempted.
