V. CONCLUSIONS
The following conclusions were drawn based on the
experimental results obtained.
The results obtained encourage the use of blast
furnace slag in concrete as a partial replacement to
fine aggregate up to 25%.
The maximum compressive strength of 40.69 N/mm2
was obtained by replacing 25% of fine aggregate with
BFS.
Workability was found to be a problem with the fresh
concrete, and hence usage of superplasticiser was
recommended.
The usage of BFS will reduce the cost of concrete by
8 to 10%.
