— Industrial waste products can be considered as renewable resources, one of them is a steel manufacturing, which produced dust waste contain sponge iron, scrap metal and other steel wastes that impacted to environment. This waste material was called Electric Arc Furnace Dust (EAFD). This study investigates the feasibility of using EAFD as a cement replacement compared to silica fume (SF) and fly ash (FA) in terms of Chemical composition, workability, setting time, compressive strength and rapid chloride permeability resistance. The results showed that workability of EAFD is almost similar to control even if percentage of EAFD was increased. It is not refer to FA more workable or SF less workable with increase percentage of replacement. Furthermore, the EAFD significantly affect the setting time, which 3% EAFD replacement bring to prolong final setting time to more than 24 hours, while the setting time of SF and FA did not significant affected along with the increase replacement percentage. In addition, the 3% EAFD is optimum replacement for compressive strength and it is equivalent replacement level to 5% SF and 15% FA. Finally, the EAFD enhance the resistance for rapid chloride permeability more than FA but less than SF.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
