Abstracts: Modification of concrete properties by the addition of appropriate materials is a popular field of concrete research. This study is focusing on the use of selected waste of iron and steel industry (steel chips) as a partial replacement for sand in the production of concrete. In this research study, concretes were made with steel chips scale as substitution for raw sand. Sand was replaced by these waste in different proportions (10% and 20%) by weight of sand. The aim of this study is to investigate the compressive strength of concrete with steel chips waste as a partial replacement for sand. The tests results obtained from concretes produced with steel chips were compared with those in conventional concrete.
