Abstract

The current research work is aimed at analyzing the total chloride content in concrete by adding Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) slag in percentages as alternative to conventional coarse and fine aggregates wherein the research is conducted to determine whether percentage changes of EAF slag could mitigate chloride content in concrete. Previous studies have proven the potential of using EAF slag to produce concrete replacing coarse aggregates completely and improving the tensile and compressive strength of concrete. However its chloride resistance property is not examined extensively. In this study of both theoretical and experimental calculation of the total content of chloride in concrete wherein for the experimental analysis, the guidelines of IS: 3025 (Part 32) - 1988 were followed and for the theoretical calculation, the sum of total chloride content in all the elements used in concrete was used. It was revealed that significant differences exist in the values of total chloride content in experimental and theoretical analysis; however it is ascertained that maximum percentage of EAF as coarse and fine aggregate replacement to be 80 per cent. Still, further research is warranted to examine the optimal amount of EAF as alternatives to conventional aggregates since there should be a permissible limit set for EAF slag to be used as alternatives without causing any impact on the durability and concrete mixture performance.
