In order to enhance the properties of concrete, it may be reinforced with scrap. Scraps from lathe machine manufacturing industries similar to that of steel fibre. In every lathe machine industry lathe dumping of lathe scraps causes contamination of natural resources so, the use of lathe machine scrap in concrete can prove environmental friendly and economical as well. The purpose of the paper was to determine the suitability of using concrete reinforced with lathe machine scraps by checking various strength, characteristics viz compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and compare the cost of using lath machine scrap reinforced concrete to normal steel fibre reinforced concrete. The experimental investigation was carried out by using M2o grade of concrete. The lathe machine steel scraps were used in varying percentages by weight of M2o concrete viz,0%,1%,1.5% and 2%. Hence finding out optimum percentage of lathe machine scraps in concrete up to which its mechanical properties like compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength can be increased. Moreover, the cost analysis was done at different proportions of lathe scraps concrete and steel fibre concrete such that the economical among the two gets distinguished

compressive strength, flexural strength, lathe machine, steel fibre, steel scrap, split tensile strength
