“An Experiment on the Properties of Concrete Replacing Fine Aggregate Partially by Iron Ore Tailing (Iot) and Cement Partially by Groung Granulated Blast Furnace Slag (GGBS)”

Abstract

The present project study is focuses on the behavior of iron ore tailing (IOT) and Ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS)Through partly replacing natural fine aggregate, at 10% 20%, 30% and cement at 5% 10% and 15% respectively. The (IOT) adopted for the project study is brought from kej minerals.The test was conducted on both fresh and hardened concrete in fresh state slump and compaction factor test is adopted and compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, respectively is measured in hardened state, cubes, cylinder, prisms is prepared. Water absorption test was conducted for durability studies. At 20 percent IOT and 10 percent GGBS, the optimal replacement was found
