Effective Utilization of Industrial Waste & Agriculture Waste in Road Pavement
India is developing country with rapid acceleration in GPD due to tremendous development in Infrastructure.Roads are major part of any country's infrastructure which plays important part in movement of people and goods.But in a construction of roads Majorly Road Construction is an activity in which utilization of natural recourses more due to which natural recourses get hampered.On other hand the waste form industry like steel slag produces in large quantities ,the dumping of such waste become serious issue to environment now a days and recycle of these waste not economical.Agricultural development also at peak period in our country the production from agricultural further used for production of food materials like sugarcane ,which is used for production of sugar, but along with these production some harmful by product also produce like Vinnasse, a the disposal of vinnasse also affect environmental balance.To overcome this problem effective use of industrial and agricultural waste is required and use of In this research paper the effective manner is to use slag in concrete by replacing natural coarse aggregate.In this study, the replacement was done with coarse aggregate by steel slag for different proportions of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% for a M30 grade of concrete is used for a water cement ratio of 0.48.Tests for compressive strength at 7 days, 14days and 28 days are conducted on specimens.Split tensile strength and flexural strength are carried for 28 days.The optimum strength is obtained on 75% replacement of coarse aggregate by steel slag.Further experimental investigations have been made to study the suitability of Vinnasse (waste water from sugarcane factories) to improve some properties of soil.The important geotechnical properties tested are: 1. Specific gravity 2. Liquid limit 3. Plastic limit 4. Plasticity index 5.Dry density 6. Optimum moisture content 7.California Bearing Ratio test and 8.Standard Proctor Tests over various soil specimen with varying percentage of Vinnasse addition (5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5% and 7.5%) , test results are find out satisfactory.
