A Critical Review of the Applicability of Cast Iron Slag and Cupola Furnace Slag in Concrete for Partial Replacement of Fine and Coarse Aggregate

Abstract

The easiest way to obtain aggregates is to use naturally available sources. Excavation of rock from valleys generally has the worst impact on the environment, and natural sand is extracted from riverbeds. Cutting and sorting the coarse aggregate makes conventional concrete more expensive. Due to the continuous use of natural materials, there may be times when items are out of stock. Project iron slag and vault slag can be utilized in the development business as a trade for fine and coarse total. After the cast iron is formed, a dust called cast iron slag is collected around the cast iron sample. Vault slag is a side-effect of solid metal assembling. Project iron slag is supplanted with fine total and dome slag is supplanted with coarse total at the ideal substitution proportion, and the strength, sturdiness, functionality, and ecological similarity of cement are tried. This study examines the previous works and experimental works of various people from their perspectives. From the physical properties of cast iron slag, it can be concluded in the study that there is similarity between cast iron slag and fine aggregate, and from the physical properties of cupola slag, it can be concluded that there is similarity between cupola slag and fine aggregate. We can conclude. Coarse aggregate. Both materials are environmentally friendly building materials. Landfill disposal and maintenance problems are reduced.
