The study was about improvement of the properties of black cotton soil with electric arc furnace dust (admixtures) with ordinary Portland cement and the determination of the optimum quantity that could be used as road construction material at minimum cost. This admixture is the waste material from the electrical industries. By using of this material as admixture we reduce the environmental hazards. Ordinary Portland cement and (EAFD) is added in the percentages of 0,5,10,15,20 & 0,5,10,15,20 respectively by dry weight of soil.

Keywords : OPC, electric arc furnace dust(EAFD), admixture.

Cement which is the most utilized material after water in present world have some environmental effects. In order to eradicate this we are going to reduce the use of CO2 emitting materials like cement. Keeping this in mind we are going to replace cement with the help of GGBS and Marble powder combinely at 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% to the weight of cement along with the addition of HEMP fibers for M50 grade of concrete. GGBS is the bi-product which comes from iron industry and Marble powder is the wastage that produced from marble stone cuttings. Hemp fiber is the naturally occurring fibre which reduces the tensile cracks of concrete. We are going to test the same for 7 days and 28 days of curing.

Keywords : OPC, GGBS, Marble Powder, Hemp fiber.
