EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON BEHAVIOUR OF BEAM USING LATHE WASTE

Abstract

An experimental investigation is carried out on the strength of lathe waste concrete and behaviour of lathe waste in concrete beams. The lathe waste which is occurred in the powdered form as a raw material which is used in the concrete cubes, cylinders and beams. The Concrete mixes are tested for its compressive strength, split tensile strength and Flexural Strength. The beams were tested for the deflection and cracking. Due to the addition of lathe waste, the powdered form of steel waste when added along with the concrete which tends to attain more strength of the concrete, when compared with the normal conventional concrete. The addition of lathe waste takes place by the percentage of the lathe waste 0%,1%,1.5%,2%,2.5% and tested for its strength and deflection
