Abstract

In the present study, utilization of quartzite and Silico Manganese (Si-Mn) slag as an alternative for coarse aggregate was investigated. Studies were conducted on the physical and mechanical properties of the material. Compressive strength property under normal curing condition was studied. M25 grade experimental design was prepared in accordance with Indian standard Code IS: 10292-2000 methods. Cubes with a curing period of 28 days were used. Compressive strength results represent that utilization of quartzite has higher better than Si-Mn Slag. Physical and chemical properties represent that of quartzite had good resistance in crushing and impact tests.
