Abstract
Today, self-compacting concrete is recognized as one of the greatest advances in the concrete industry. Self-compacting concrete is increasingly targeted by engineers in the construction industry. One of the important concerns in the environment is solid waste disposal, which increases the need to reuse solid waste. Waste disposal is a serious environmental challenge worldwide. Recycling of industrial waste for concrete production is currently the best way for waste management, environment and sustainable products. Rust and iron scraps are one of the major parts of solid waste. All kinds of metals turn into iron rust after being oxidized, and iron chips and shavings are created during turning and cutting, which are considered as industrial waste. The main goal of this research is to use the idea of using (iron rust) rejected from sieve No. 20 and (iron shavings) rejected from sieve No. 4 in the design of mixing self-compacting concrete with different percentages (0, 0.5, 1, 1 5, 2% relative to the weight of sand) and (0, 5, 10, 15, 20% relative to the weight of sand) were used as an additive, cheap, waste and available. For fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete tests with and without rust and iron filings, slump flow tests, V funnel, L box, J ring, U box and compressive strength, tensile strength, ultrasonic pulse speed, Schmidt hammer, impact Temperature and permeability were investigated. The results of the experiments showed that by increasing the percentage of (iron rust) and (iron filings) in self-compacting concrete, the compressive strength increased in the range of 1.75-8.14 percent compared to self-compacting concrete (standard) and the tensile strength In 28 days of processing, the resistance increased in the range of 3.73-16.33% compared to self-compacting concrete (standard).
