‘Preparing Standard Concrete Using Copper Slag’

Abstract

In this paper, we look at the experimental investigation of concrete with partial substitution of fine aggregate with copper slag to improve the strength parameters of the M25 grade of concrete, such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength. Copper slag replaces fine aggregate in 20 percent, 30 percent, 40 percent, and 50 percent of the weight of the sand, respectively. According to Indian Standard 456: 2000, the concrete ratio for M25 grade is 1:1:2. Compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength were assessed at 7, 14, and 28 days using different tests. We can reduce river digging by replacing copper slag with fine aggregate and prevent the natural fine aggregate and also reduce the environmental pollution to produce by copper slag when it dispose in open atmosphere.
