Copper slag is by product material produced during the smelting and refining process of manufacturing ofcopper. It is estimated that about two tons of copper slag is generated for extracting one tons of copper. Thus this material isproduced in large quantity as a waste. Currently it is being used as a replacement of sand in shot blasting and land filling.Construction is one of the largest activity in the country and there is scope of using this copper slag as construction material.This can reduce the hazardous effect due to the disposal of copper slag in land filling. In this study we are going toinvestigate the constructive use of copper slag as a building material. Copper slag is mixed with fine aggregate in differentproportions and tested for various properties of concrete. And also add polypropylene fiber as admixture for more strength.The results of concrete with copper slag with fibers and without copper slag are analyzed for improvements in properties forconcrete such as compressive strength as well as tensile strength. Which are used for replacement of sand in concrete as wellas in building material and economy in construction.
