This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation for the reuse of some locally available industrial waste materials namely, granulated blast-furnace slag (BFS), pulverized fuel ash (PFA), limonite, and silica fume (SF) in producing high strength concrete. Developing of high strength concretes has a worth priority field of study worldwide, their production is largely expanded in the last two decades. Potential applications of high strength concrete are in producing thin durable sections and in strengthening and repairing defaulted structures. The principal engineering properties of the developed concretes such as compressive strength, modulus of rupture, and modulus of elasticity were investigated. .The test results revealed that the resulting concretes have excellent strength properties superior to those made of only ordinary Portland cement. The suggested utilization of these industrial waste materials provides a useful mean of disposal for a considerable amount of these solid wastes and contributes in the environmental protection.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
