Title A name given to the resource An Investigation on the Mechanical and Durability Properties of Concrete Structures Incorporated with Steel Slag Industrial Waste Subject The topic of the resource Concrete; Durability; Mechanical strength; Steel slag Description An account of the resource The construction sector constantly looks for novel approaches to promote sustainability, minimize environmental impact and improve structural properties of construction materials. This work explores the incorporation of steel slag, a by-product from steel manufacturing industry, into concrete blocks. This research investigates the effects of steel slag on the mechanical strength and durability of the prepared concrete blocks, through a series of laboratory tests, including compressive, tension, flexure strength, water absorption and acid attack. This study evaluates the viability and feasibility of incorporating steel slag into concrete block production. In this study, samples of concrete mixture were set with 0% to 20% insteps of 5% steel slag as coarse aggregate. The findings show that concrete blocks consisting 20% of steel slag exhibited better compressive, tensile, flexural strength, reduction in water absorption and improved resistance to chemicals.
