Abstract

Welding slag is a form of slag, or vitreous material produced as a by-product of some arc welding processes, most specifically shielded metal arc welding , submerged arc welding, and flux-cored arc welding. Slag is formed when flux, the solid shielding material used in the welding process, melts in or on top of the weld zone. Slag is the solidified remaining flux after the weld area cools. This Weld slag can be used as a replacement of aggregates in concrete instead of disposing it and also without compromising properties of concrete.Research will be conducted on the fresh and hardened properties of concrete using5%, 10% and 15% of Weld slag as replacement of sand. A total of 12 concrete samples will be prepared including 3 Cement Concrete cubes and 9 Weld slag mix concrete cubes, then all concrete samples will be cured at 7 days to the design of target strength of 40 N/mm2 Before that we will prepare 12 cubes to get an optimum mix, a number of trail mixes will be completed using variable cement (binder),coarse aggregates, fine aggregates and water.
