Utilization of Colemanite waste in Concrete Design

Abstract

Waste material is formed in enormous quantities during the beneficiation of raw ore. These wastes can cause both economic loss and environmental pollution. Thus, in this study, the effect of CW obtained from Eti Mine Establishments Kütahya-Emet Boron Plants on the compressive strength and cylinder splitting tensile strength of concrete and its USAbility as a concrete admixture is investigated. The results found show that utilization of Colemanite Waste is possible when it is used as additive in concrete
