ABSTRACT
Concrete has become one of the most utilised material in

the construction field. In the last decade various researches were induced in this field so as to improve the characteristics of the concrete prepared. Our project deals with the application of steel stag as a partial replacement for coarse aggregate in concrete. Also we have planned to examine the strength properties of the concrete under static and dynamic loading process in this project to come out with a clear cut conclusion.

OBJECTIVE
To utilise the steel slag (a steel plant waste) as a partial

replacement for coarse aggregate in concrete. To analyse the strength characteristics of the concrete under static and dynamic loading process. To bring down the cost of concrete by using steel slag and to overcome the aggregate shortage in market.

INTRODUCTION
The cost of concrete preparation has been increasing day by day. So it has become almost impossible for most of the people to build a house in the society. Here an attempt is made to bring

down the cost and at the same time to improve the quality. For
this we have replaced the coarse aggregate in concrete with steel slag in this project. Phase I of this project deals with finding the optimum replacement percentage of steel slag in

concrete and in phase II we have planned to test the concrete under static and dynamic loads.
