Abstract
The evaluation of industrial wastes is one of the issues that increase its importance day by day in terms of both reducing environmental impacts and increasing economic contributions. In this study, it was aimed to create an alternative usage area for ferrochrome fly ash by adding ferrochrome fly ash wastes to different types of concrete such as filled concrete, road concrete and C 25/30 concrete. Samples were prepared by adding 5–20% by weight ferrochrome fly ash to different concrete types. Compression tests and Cr (VI) amounts were analyzed by keeping the samples in curing water for 7, 14 and 28 days. As a result, it was observed that the compressive strength of the sample with the addition of ferrochrome fly ash (10% by wt.) to the filled concrete gave similar values to the standard filled concrete. It was observed that the compressive stresses for the concrete sample with the addition of ferrochrome fly ash (7.5% by wt.) of road concrete were 34.21, 37.96 and 40.01 MPA (7, 14 and 28 days), respectively. This value was observed as 30.1, 35.1 and 36.82 MPa for the sample to which ferrochrome fly ash (12.5% by wt.) was added to C 25/30 concrete, respectively. When the environmental effects of the samples were analyzed, it was observed that the samples using ferrochrome fly ash did not exceed the limits according to the Water Pollution Regulation.
