Recycled metallic filings Fine aggregate replacement Concrete mixtures Sustainable construction materials Compressive strength Durability Workability Concrete properties Environmental sustainability Metal scrap utilization Partial replacement

This project work titled "The effects of the partial replacement of fine aggregate in concrete with recycled metallic filings" aims to investigate the viability and impact of using Recycled metallic filings as a sustainable alternative to traditional fine aggregates in concrete mixtures. This project explores the use of recycled metallic filings as a partial replacement for fine aggregates in concrete production to address environmental and financial challenges. The study aims to examine the impacts of recycled metallic filings on compressive strength and durability, as well as the properties of concrete mixtures containing different percentages of metal scraps. Preliminary findings suggest that incorporating recycled metallic filings can improve concrete's compressive strength due to their unique physical properties and ability to act as granules for cement hydration. However, there are concerns about corrosion due to the presence of metals like iron in the filings, and the workability of concrete mixtures containing metallic filings can be affected. In conclusion, this project aims to explore the feasibility and potential benefits of partially replacing fine aggregates in concrete with recycled metallic filings, suggesting that this innovative approach can lead to improved compressive strength while addressing environmental and economic concerns.
