Reuse of Industrial Waste (Copper Slag) As Fine Aggregate In Concrete

This project reports the effect of concrete using copper slag as fine aggregate replacement. In this project work, the concrete grade M40 was selected and IS method was used for mix design. The properties of material for cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and copper slag were studied for mix design. The various strength of concrete like compressive, flexural and split tensile were studied for various replacements of fine aggregate using copper slag that are 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. The maximum compressive strength of concrete attained at 40% replacement of fine aggregate at 7, 14 and 28 days. The split tensile strength and the flexural strength were also obtained higher strength at 40% replacement level at 28 days.
