PROPERTIES OF HIGH DENSITY CONCRETE

The properties of high density concrete made with sheared mild steel bars as coarse aggregate and sand as fine aggregate are studied through experimental investigations. Test results indicate that high density concrete with densities ranging from 3400 -5600 kg/cu m and compressive strengths varying from 200 -550 kg/sq cm can be produced using steel punchings as coarse aggregate. Based on the test results, some empirical relationships are developed from prediction of the compressive strength, modulus of rupture and modulus of elasticity of high density concrete.
