At present in India huge amount of Solid wastage is produced which generated high environmental in India.
Many of researchers around the world are looking for the economic utilization and disposal of solid wastage. In India 41
million tonne of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace slag is produced due to the production of huge amount of Steel
Production. However, the construction materials industries is most suitable way to mass consumption of the solid wastage.
The utilization of Ground Granulated Blast Furnace slag to prepare Aerated Autoclave Concrete Block was studied. In this
study the replace the Ground Granulated Blast Furnace slag with cement as various amount up to 70%. The Aerated
Autoclave concrete block were prepare with a Dry Density of 580.77 Kg./ m3
and Compressive strength 4.82 MPa.
Increasing percentage of GGBF replace cement is also decreasing the Water Absorption and Drying Shrinkage capacities
of the Aerated Autoclave Concrete Block.
