        abstract = {In order to encourage sustainable development, the concept of "partially replacing cement" entails using industry by industry to reduce pollution, energy consumption, and the use of natural resources. Pig iron production also produces solid granular rear stove slugs (GGBs), which pose substantial environmental and health risks.The lifetime potential of using GGB in place of some cement in the creation of self-connected concrete is investigated in this study. GGBS serves as a filler and helps to lower the overall amount of cabbage in self-preventing concrete. In order to improve powder content and achieve the required processability, fly ash is also added in consistent amounts to all mixing ratios. At varying rates, GGB replaces cement: 0%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, and 40%.  It was decided that the water/cement ratio was 0.40 (F/C) following a number of test mixtures.
In comparison to conventional concrete, self-connected concrete mixtures were created, tested, and assessed for compressive, split tensile, and bending strengths as well as pressure resistance, covalent tensile strength, and bending strength. The results show that substituting 25% of cement with GGB is similar to utilizing 25% of cement in regular concrete.},
