An Investigation on the Effect of Partial Replacement of Cement by Slate Powder on the Properties of Concrete and Thermal Conductivity

In this paper Slate waste powder use as partial replacement of cement in concrete for thermal conductivity test and compressive strength test of concrete have been investigated and reported. Concrete cube of slate waste powder casted yourself and these concrete strength in expression of compressive strength and tensile strength evaluated experimentally. It is found the compressive and tensile strength of slate waste powder concrete can be comparable with OPC concrete .It is found that the strength of Slate waste powder replaced concrete in terms of compression and split tension can be comparable with the conventional concrete. This study is aimed of some partial such as (0%, 10%, and 20%) substitution of cement with slate waste powder in concrete mix that will with partial replacement of cement by slate waste powder (0%, 10%, and 20%) that will give an advantage of pollution reducing, Sinking the caste of construction and most important to maintain indoor temperature of room in different weather condition. The use of Slate waste powder in making of concrete are very useful such as Maintain Indoor temperature of room at different weather conditions, making green building, reduce the caste of construction and pollution control but also helpful in sustainable development.
