Abstract: This paper describes the experimental inspection performed to evaluate the properties of concrete using steel slag as a fine aggregate. Concrete is the most commonly used material in the world, so it’s abounded used in civil engineering construction field leads to increasing in aggregate scarcity. Because it reduces the use of natural resources, industrial waste is encouraged in the construction industry. Common industrial waste materials include fly ash, silica fume, and steel slag. These materials are successfully used in the construction industry for partial and complete concrete replacement. In present study, partial replacement of fine aggregate by 0%,5%, 10% and 15% in M30 concrete grades with w/c ratio of 0.44. Keywords: Concrete, steel slag, compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength test.
