Comparative Evaluation of the Pozzolanic Activity of Artificial Pozzolans: Steel Slag, Fly Ash, and GGBFSBy Sravan Chilukuri, Sanjeet Kumar, Ashwin Raut
Abstract: Evaluating the pozzolanic activity of specific industrial waste is crucial given the growing demand for cementitious materials. This research aims to expand the possibilities of incorporating pozzolanic waste such as Steel Slag (SS) as additives to cement. SS is a byproduct of the steel production process. A byproduct of the steelmaking process, slags have long been used as aggregates in building materials like concrete and roads. A closed-loop structure and …

Enhancing Strength and Durability: A Study of Mortar Blocks with Steel Slag Incorporation and the Development of Steel Slag Lime and Cement BlocksBy Sravan Chilukuri, Sanjeet Kumar, Ashwin Raut
Abstract: This study is focused on investigating the strength and durability properties of mortar cubes made with slag cement and incorporating Ultra Fine Steel Slag (SS) as a potential replacement for natural fine aggregates (FNA). In some instances, the cement was entirely replaced with hydrated lime to develop the blocks. A battery of tests, including assessments of compressive strength, acid resistance, sulfate resistance, water absorption, and void analysis, were carried out …
