Abstract
Concrete is a material which is widely used in construction worldwide. It a backbone of structure for the development of nation. There are huge demands of such type of construction material for development. And due to huge demand we need an alternate material to fulfill the requirement of building material. Similarly from the iron industries and aluminum industries huge amount of waste are generated in the form of waste, such type of waste material is known as blast furnace slag. Cupola blast furnace slag (CBFS) is a waste material which is by product of iron industries. They contain similar property of cement. The waste generation of iron industries is growing continuously from 5% to 8%. The management of CBFS is a serious issue occurring in industries. Therefore cupola blast furnace slag used as a alternative material in mortar and concrete in construction.
In this experiment we are used cupola blast furnace slag as a partial replacement of cement and also used partial replacement of fine aggregate (FA). The percentage of replacement would be 0%, 2%,4%, 6%, 8% and 10% with ordinary portland cement (OPC) and fine aggregate. After the adding cupola blast furnace slag in mortar with cement from 0% to 10% workability, water absorption, tensile test and compressive strength were conducted of cupola furnace cement mortar (CFCM). And similarly the partial replacement fine aggregate in concrete with CBFS from 0% to 10% workability, water absorption test and compressive strength test were conducted of Cupola furnace cement concrete (CFCC).
