In construction industry natural aggregate is the most popular constituent and mainly used in concrete, road construction, ballast on railway track, etc. In concrete construction upto 50-60% and in road construction 75-80% the aggregate is used. But the natural aggregates are natural resources and it is limited in country. As we know that India is a developing country and for different Therefore to find an alternative to aggregate is very important for future construction work. While finding alternative to the aggregate the waste material from steel industry resembles the same characteristics as aggregate. So steel slag get extracted in the process of steel manufacturing as a byproduct in molten form. As it is generated at very high temperature due to this after cooling it becomes strong and porous in structure. Though it is very strong it possesses mechanical properties such as Impact value, Abrassion value, Crushing value, etc. But due to porous structure it absorbs water excessively due to this its volume gets change which creates problem in use as aggregate. To solve it should have to give surface treatment with chemicals. But normally and cost effective is to giving the coating of cement paste and oil paint. So in this project we will going to find out the optimum replacement of steel slag in aggregate also the result of treated steel slag.
