 Objective

The main objective of this research work is to use

the iron ore tailings in concrete as a partial
replacement for fine aggregates.

 Specific Objectives

• To study the material properties of iron ore tailing

as a aggregate
• To study mechanical strength of concrete with
25%, 50%, 75% and 100% replacement of fine
aggregate by iron ore tailings
• To study the effect on permeability of concrete
with iron ore tailings
