Enhancing Self-Compacting Concrete Performance Using Recycled Floor Steel Slag As Fine Aggregate
Keywords:
self-compacting concrete (SSC), slump flow, T50, compressive and split tensile strength.Abstract
The study explores the feasibility of utilizing floor steel slag as a partial replacement for sand in the production of self-compacting concrete (SCC). By incorporating varying replacement levels (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%), the research evaluates the impact of steel slag on both fresh and hardened properties of SCC. Key performance indicators such as slump flow diameter and T50 time are analyzed to assess workability, while compressive and split tensile strengths are examined to determine mechanical performance
