- Description
- Effective use of slag sand and Iron Ore Tailings and other waste obtained from the manufacturing industry and mining industry like waste foundry sand, will reduce the negative impact on the environment and also will provide opportunities for effective use of natural resources and contribute to sustainability. The aim of this research project is to study the flexural strength of ferrocement slab made of slag sand partially replaced with iron ore tailings with sustainability point of view. Investigation of 48 slab panels of 700mm 300 mm size with thickness 25 mm and 30 mm was conducted using 1 and 2 layers of weld mesh reinforcement casted with different percentage of iron ore tailings. Slabs were tested in Universal Testing Machine, which showed good results with 15% of iron ore tailings. Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
