White cement, Fine aggregate, Steel slag, Pigments.Abstract
In this project we are making cement mortar tiles. The specialty of these tiles are instead of sand we
are using steel slag partially for making. The mixed ratio is 1:3 and the size of the tiles are 300x300x20 mm. The
main advantage of the replacement is the increase of compressive strength and reduce in self-weight. Colour
pigments are used for different types of colours. Use of steel slag lead to reduce the level of water absorption
upto10%.
