Fresh and Hardened Properties of High Performance Concrete with Weld Slag as Fine AggregateBy A. Ananthi
Abstract: This research centers on the incorporation of welding slag, the residue remaining after the welding process, as fine aggregates in the production of high-performance concrete with a compressive strength of 70 MPa. The chemical and physical characteristics of welding slag aggregates (WSA), such as chemical compositions, specific gravity, SEM images, XRD, and EDS analysis, were investigated. Additional investigations were carried out by substituting welding slag with standard sand at varying …

Utilization of Waste Plastics as a Fiber in ConcreteBy A. Ananthi, A. Jay Tamil Eniyan, S. Venkatesh
Abstract: The rapid urbanization and industrialization all over the world has resulted in large deposition of plastic waste. Disposal of plastic waste in an environment is considered to be big hazard due to its very low biodegradability and presence in large quantities. In order to minimize the problem, the proposed concrete which is made by adding plastics in concrete may help to reuse the plastics and to study the properties of …

Experimental Study on the Properties of Self-Curing ConcreteBy A. Ananthi, R Ranjith, S Swarna Latha, R Vimal Raj
Abstract: This paper highlights the effect of curing agent polyethylene glycol (PEG-400) in the performance of concrete. The chemical agent PEG is used with different percentage; 1%, 2% and 3% to the weight of cement. Super plasticizer named glenium was used to improve the workability of concrete. The property such as compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete was examined with normal curing and self-curing at 7 days and 28 …
