Laboratory Study of the Effect of Steel Shavings on Rolling Concrete

Today, the proper use of waste and disposal that affects the environment around us, It has received a lot of attention, Because it is both environmentally and economically valuable to help with the environment we are in. According to that thousands of tons of steel waste is produced annually in the country's industrial community And through the collection of these wastes and their relocation to the factory and their smelting, they are again produced under steel conditions at high cost Or, because of its indivisibility, it is left unused in our environment and takes up a lot of space. Therefore reusing these wastes would be very beneficial. Research has shown that the use of iron filings in ordinary concrete has been repeatedly performed by different individuals, but in roller compacted concrete, it has not been done separately to reduce or increase resistances. This type of concrete pavement is known as the roller compacted concrete which has zero slump and is much cheaper and has a better performance than other concrete pavements. Due to the good advantages of this type of pavement over other asphalt and concrete pavements, the tendency to use this type of pavement is increasing. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of iron filings on the mechanical properties of roller compacted concrete in road pavement. In this research, after purchasing the aggregate, iron filing, cement and providing these materials in the laboratory, The process of screening the aggregates was performed.
