Abstract
Steel is produced from iron ore and purification of metal scrap, leading to manufacture of
hundreds of tonnes of steel slag each year. This study investigated the optimum replacement of granite
with Ife Iron and Steel Nigeria Limited (ISN) slag that produce maximum Compressive Strength
(CS), Split Tensile Strength (STS) and Flexural Strength (FS) of concrete using Response Surface
Methodology (RSM) from Design Expert Version 7.0. The outcome of the study showed that the
optimum replacement of granite with ISN was 28.85% ISN at 0.47 W/C.
