Namrata M. Mannade, Prof. A.P.Khatri


Due to globalization and the construction of very challenging and difficult civil engineering structures, Concrete is the most suitable material which is used in construction worldwide. It is called upon to possess very high strength and sufficient workability properties and efforts are made in the field of concrete by using fibres and other admixtures, In concrete up to certain proportions, In the view of global sustainable developments. waste scrap steel which are produced in different manufacturing processes of lathe machine works can be used as reinforcing material in concrete to enhance the various properties of concrete. The aim of the paper was to study the feasibility of using steel scrap in concrete by checking various concrete parameters like compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength. All the parameter checked with varying percentage by 0%,0.5%,1%,1.5%,2% by weight of concrete. This paper presents the current status and past studies in the area of reuse of waste materials in concrete. However, this building material is in the development stage and it has a wide scope in the future.
