scholarly journals Sustainable use of Industrial Wastes as Replacement for Fine and Coarse Aggregate in Production of Self Compacting Concrete – A State of the Art

From recent global research developments, lot of natural and artificial materials are coming from industries those are normally discarded or used as landfills are investigated for potential construction applications. There are different industry waste materials like steel slag, copper slag, electric furnace slag etc., which are used in various types of concretes such as conventional, geo-polymer self-compacting concretes. Now a day’s utilization of Self- Compacting Concrete (SCC) is increasing speedily because of its attractive characteristics like effective fresh, mechanical and durability properties and its large applications in construction. In addition to this, SCC materials are associated with sustainability issues. Necessity of SCC expected to continuously increases with increasing developments around the world. Therefore required an ideal solution and sustain technology; such as utilization of alternative materials. The present study explains application of industrial waste materials to replace fine and coarse aggregates in self-compacting concrete production. Also, effective limitations in using some of the waste materials as sustainable alternatives for coarse and fine aggregates have been mentioned. From this review, it is evident that factors like carbon emissions, energy for production and cost production of SCC can be notably decreased by incorporating of waste materials in place of fine and coarse aggregates in Self-Compacting Concrete.

The main aim of the environmental protection agencies and the government are to seek ways and means to minimize the problems of disposal and health hazards of by products. It is considered as a waste material which could have a promising future in construction industry as substitute of either cement or coarse aggregates or fine aggregates. Copper slag is one of the replacement mechanisms of material in concrete. Use of copper slag as a replacement for fine aggregate in concrete cubes various strength measurements was experimentally investigated in this study. Mainly contents of that M35 conventional concrete and copper slag as a replacement of fine aggregate  in 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%,50%, 60%, 80%, and 100% and also Portland Pozzolana Cement is noted. In this regard, laboratory study including water absorption test, bond strength, and percentage of voids, compressive strength & bulk density were conducted in ppc cement concrete which made by copper slag waste as a replacement of fine aggregate and PPC. A substitution up to 40-50% as a copper slag as a sand replacement yielded comparable strength to that of the conventional concrete. However, addition of more copper slag resulted in strength reduction due to the increase in the free water content in the mix, cured period in a curing tank for later resulting at 28 and 60 days.

AbstractBased on the available literature, a simple method was adopted to calculate the packing density of aggregates and thereby reduce their void content by optimising their packing aggregates and by using two different sizes of coarse aggregates and fine aggregates. This study provides an understanding of the way in which the shape of aggregates affects the properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC). The fresh, hardened, and durable properties of SCC with normal and lightweight fly ash coarse aggregates are found at the corresponding age of the curing. Their values were compared with respect to SCC containing normal aggregates. A mix with fly ash aggregates was found to have better fresh concrete properties due to the round shape of the aggregates. After the packing of the aggregates, this mix was found to have better mechanical and durability properties than all the other concrete mixes.


Abstract. To overcome the shortage of natural resources for the production of concrete, many waste materials are used to replace the raw materials of concrete. In this way, bottom ash is one of the major industrial wastes which shall be used as the replacement of materials in concrete production. It shall be used to replace the materials either up to one-third. This review brings out the evaluation of the industrial waste material which can be repeatedly used as a substitution for concrete as fine aggregate. This paper reviewed the use of industrial waste i.e., bottom ash as fine aggregate in the concrete. The parameters discussed were physical, chemical, fresh, and hardened properties of the concrete with partial replacement of bottom ash. By reviewing some of the research papers, concluded that 10-15% replacement of fine aggregates is acceptable for all the properties of concrete. High utilization of natural sources -gives the pathway to produce more industrial wastes which are responsible for the development of new sustainable development.

The effects of simultaneous use of recycled aggregates and ground blast furnace slag as a percentage of cement-constituting materials on different properties of fresh self-compacting concrete (SCC) are investigated in this study. To this end, three series of SCC mixtures with a fixed volume of cement paste equalling 380 ltr/m3 (2.36 gal/ft3) and the replacement ratio of coarse aggregates (fifty percent and one hundred percent) and total aggregates (zero percent, fifty percent and one hundred percent) were prepared. The water content ratios in the first, second and third series were 0.4, 0.45, and 0.5, respectively. The results of the compressive strength tests for 7-day, 14-day and 28-day cubic specimens and compressive strength and Brazilian test results for 28-day cylindrical specimens were used as control parameters governing the SCC resistive quality. The results of fresh SCC tests (including slump-flow and T50 tests, V-funnel test, and L-box test) showed that the negative effect of recycled fine aggregates on fresh SCC properties is significantly more than that of recycled coarse aggregate. However, recycled SCC with acceptable properties can be obtained with a slight increase in the amount of superplasticisers used in the presence of slag.

One of the prime objectives of this review is to understand the role of design parameters on the mechanical properties (Compressive and split tensile strength) of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with recycled aggregates (Recycled Coarse Aggregates (RCA) and Recycled Fine Aggregates (RFA)). The design parameters considered for review are Water to Cement (W/C) ratio, Water to Binder (W/B) ratio, Total Aggregates to Cement (TA/C) ratio, Fine Aggregate to Coarse Aggregate (FA/CA) ratio, Water to Solid (W/S) ratio in percentage, superplasticizer (SP) content (kg/cu.m), replacement percentage of RCA, and replacement percentage of RFA. It is observed that with respect to different grades of SCC, designed parameters affect the mechanical properties of SCC with recycled aggregates.

The use of industrial by-products in concrete production is part of concerted efforts on the reduction of environmental hazards attributed to the mining of conventional aggregates. Consideration of iron filings (IF), a by-product from steel production process, is an environmentally friendly way of its disposal which is expected to yield economic concrete production. Six self-compacting concrete (SCC) mixes were made by partially substituting river sand with IF at 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% and the mix without IF (0% IF) served as the control. The water-binder (w/b) ratio of 0.45 was adopted for all mixes. The fresh state properties of SCC evaluated include: filling ability determined using slump flow and T500 mm slump flow tests, passing ability determined using L-box test and segregation resistance determined using V-funnel tests. The strength properties of SCC considered were compressive and tensile strengths. All the SCC mixes met the fresh properties requirements for filling capacity, passing ability, and segregation resistance. The 28-day compressive and tensile strengths of SCC increased by 3.46% and 8.08%, respectively, with IF replacement up to 15% compared to the control SCC. However, there was reduction in compressive and tensile strengths of SCC with IF replacement beyond 15%. The strength properties of SCC is considerably enhanced with the addition of up to 15% IF. Hence, the optimum content of 15% IF is considered suitable as a replacement for river sand in SCC.

Steel industry results in accumulation of steel slag wastes causing severe environmental problems. These wastes can be recycled and replace natural aggregates resulting in sustainable green concrete. In this research, natural aggregates in self-compacting concrete (SCC) are replaced, wholly or partly, by steel slag coarse aggregates that were produced by crushing by-product boulders obtained from the steel industry. Fresh properties, (workability, stability, bleeding, air content, and fresh density) are the crucial ones that affect the final properties of SCC. Therefore, it becomes important to evaluate the impact of SSA on the fresh properties of SCC mixes. The properties that are studied include stability, flowability, blocking, segregation, and bleeding. Furthermore, air content and fresh density are measured. In order to evaluate the impact of SSA on SCC properties, several testing methods are employed. Slump flow, V-funnel, column segregation, sieve segregation, segregation probe, U-shaped box, and VSI tests have been used in the study. The results show that it is possible to produce SCC using steel slag aggregate. Hence, green sustainable SCC can be produced. The results show that the fresh properties become sensitive for SSA replacement ratios exceeding 50%.

There are many steel-manufacturing factories in Iran. All of their byproducts, steel slag, are dumped randomly in open areas, causing many environmentally hazardous problems. This research is intended to study the effectiveness of using steel slag aggregate (SSA) in improving the engineering properties, especially fatigue life of Asphalt Concrete (AC) produced with steel slag. The research started by evaluating the physical properties of the steel slag aggregate. Then the 13 types of mixes which contain steel slag in portion of fine aggregates or in portion of coarse aggregates or in all portions of aggregates were tested. The effectiveness of the SSA was judged by the improvement in Marshall stability, indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus, and fatigue life of the AC samples. It was found that replacing the 50% of the limestone coarse or fine aggregate by SSA improved the mechanical properties of the AC mixes.
