Mechanical Characteristics of Lathe Scrap Waste Fiber with Concrete

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine whether waste from lathes is suitable for use in concrete as a partial substitute for coarse aggregate. The percentages of lathe waste that are utilized to substitute aggregates in terms of weight are as follows: 4%, 6%, and 10%. Twelve concrete cubes of grade M20 were made in total before the mix was used. In addition to the main components of concrete, the cubes are cast with 4%, 6%, and 10% of lathe waste. The specimens are allowed to be cured for a total of 28 days. To investigate the attributes of strength that concrete has, both compression and split tensile strength tests are carried out. It is concluded that lathe wasteisalowweightmaterialand4% replacement of lathe waste in the concrete is more efficient and beneficial. Thus, it can be said that using lathe waste in concrete with 4% replacement for aggregates is advantageous compared to using standard concrete, which also minimizes environmental pollution while also giving the waste material a financial return. The constituent materials employed in this investigation include waste lathe scrap fibre, cement, fine and coarse aggregate, and water. Use of OPC 53 grade cement and cement's chemical makeup.
