Abstract This paper aims to study experimentally, the effect of partial replacement of coarse and fine aggregates by steel slag (SS), on the various strength and durability properties of concrete, by using the mix design of M20 grade. The optimum percentage of replacement of fine and coarse aggregate by steel slag is found. Workability of concrete gradually decreases, as the percentage of replacement increases, which is found using slump test. Compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength and durability tests such as acid resistance, using Hcl, H 2 SO 4 , and Rapid chloride penetration, are experimentally investigated. The results indicate that for conventional concrete, the partial replacement of fine and coarse aggregates by steel slag improves the compressive, tensile and flexural strength. The mass loss in cubes after immersion in acids is found to be very low. Deflection in the RCC beams gradually increases, as the load on the beam increases, for both the replacements. The degree of chloride ion penetrability is assessed based on the limits, given in ASTM C 1202. The viability of usage of SS in concrete is found.
