Abstract: In the current scenario, the disposal problem of industrial by-products has become an environmental issue due to the pollution caused. The
fine aggregate was replaced with seven percentages (0%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60% and 70%) and cement was replaced with 0, 10 and 15% of
silica fume by weight. The compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength were determined at 7, 28 days. The test results indicate
significant improvement in the strength properties of plain concrete by the inclusion of steel slag and silica fume as partial replacement of fine aggregate
and cement can be effectively used in structural concrete. Based on overall observations, it could be recommended that slag could be effectively utilized
as fine aggregate in all the concrete applications.

Abstract: Leaving the industrial waste to the environment directly cause environmental problems. Waste can be used to produce new products or can
be used as the admixtures so that natural resources are used more efficient and the environment is protected from waste deposits. Rapid Industrialization
and Urbanization is causing serious environmental problems to the environment. One of the major concerns amongst these is safe and sound disposal of
solid wastes. The treatment of effluents from the production of textile industries results in sludge generation from the treatment plant which poses a huge
challenge for its disposal. Therefore, an attempt is made to initialize them in an effective way In this experimental investigation, an attempt has been
made to investigate the behaviour of concrete and its mechanical properties with replacement of cement with textile sludge. The outcomes show there is a
possibility in accommodating the sludge in concrete by solidification. This report is meant for discussion of beneficial utilization of textile industrial
sludge waste with conventional building material in Construction application. From this study, the use of the textile sludge has identified for structural
and non-structural applications by conducting future experimental studies.
