Abstract
In recent years, zinc industry waste jarosite as a partial replacement of cement for high-strength concrete manufacturing has gained importance. Hence, the current study attempts to better understand the jarosite's efficiency in pavement quality concrete. Two different approaches based on compressive strength-to-water cementitious ratio relation and flexural strength-to-water cementitious ratio relation at different replacement levels of jarosite were considered to evaluate jarosite's efficiency in pavement quality concrete. It was observed that both the water-to-cementitious ratio and the dose of jarosite significantly affect the strength characteristics of the concrete. The results showed that the optimum quantity of water for the jarosite blended concrete could be achieved well by the difference in water-to-cementitious ratio (Δw) based efficiency factor concept considered in the study. Further, based on the achieved efficiency factors, it was found that the jarosite is more efficient in terms of flexural strength when compared to compressive strength.
