Abstract

This paper presents the effect of copper slag when included in concrete as a partial replacement
material for fine aggregate. It focuses on the effect of copper slag on behavior of concrete. This paper outlines the
properties, preparation and testing and finally the results obtained from experimental investigations using copper slag
which is a waste by product produced during the smelting process of manufacture of concrete from its ore.
Experimental investigations are carried out by replacing sand with copper slag in content of 0% 10%, 20%, 30% and
40% by keeping fly ash as 20% and all other ingredients were constant. It is observed that the optimum content of
copper slag that can be used as replacement material is 40%.
