Abstract
granulated blast furnace slag. In this floor hardening powder to be used in artificial aggregates prepared by pelletization method to increase the strength of artificial aggregates. The properties of the materials were studied and compared with natural aggregate for a durability property. Artificial aggregates were prepared for the ratio of 1:2. Then the strength properties like specific gravity, water absorption test, sieve analysis, impact test, abrasion test, aggregate crushing test of the prepared artificial aggregates is tested. In for upcoming phase the ratio, proportion of concrete varies 20%, 40%, 60%, 60%, 80%, 100% to choose an optimum level of aggregate percentage using of casting for beam. The conventional aggregate concrete mix has been designed for M30 grade of concrete using IS method. Finally the normal aggregate is compared with artificial aggregate where flexural strength and durability properties are determined. Then the results are numerically analyzed
