Utilization of Waste Crumble of Steel in Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Construction

In the past few years use of Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) is growing tremendus and much research and modification has been done to produce Autoclaved aerated concrete which has the desired characteristics. Autoclaved cellular concrete has a very flexible system and it is one of the best materials for construction to reduce CO2 emission from manufacturing process of brick is commonly used building material for construction. Therefore, focus should be now more on eco-friendly solutions for greener environment and direct path to sustainable development. This research demonstrates the use of waste crumble of steel and fly ash as replacement of sand in autoclaved aerated concrete. Material was produced, tested and compared with normal autoclaved aerated concrete and regular concrete in terms of strength these tests are carried out on standard cube, beam and cylinder for 7 and 28 days to determine the compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength. From the obtained results for 7 and 28 days, it may be concluded that, crumble of steel is suitable for the production of autoclaved aerated concrete. Due to the properties of steel high strength of AAC products are achieved.
