Experimental Studies on Concrete Containing Welding Waste Slag

Abstract

In the field of construction concrete is the largest utiliser of natural sources and industrial materials by products available in the world. The concrete is a essential material to fulfill the requirements of industries, domestic housing and basic infrastructural needs of our society. Rapid increase in urban infrastructural developments in developing countries such as India leads to the need for natural resources such as river sand. The accessibility of the natural resources is diminishing rapidly. At present, other sources of fine aggregates are in great demand. This work concentrates on the utilisation of weld slag (slag left after the welding process) as fine aggregate in concrete. In this research study of strength of a new  construction material named as Welding Waste Slag Concrete. Welding Waste Concrete is a concrete made by some quantity replacement by welding slag on the place of natural sand. Welding slag is waste slag of weld which is residue after process of arc welding. Results shows that the compressive strength of 10% replacement is best which also greater then conventional concrete. And results also shows that 10% by welding slag also shows greater strength then conventional.
