Effect of Copper Slag as a Partial Replacement of Fine Aggregate on the Properties of Cement Concrete

Jayapal Naganur, Chethan B.A.

Abstract


Utilization of industrial waste or secondary materials has encouraged in construction industry for the production of concrete because it contribute to reducing the consumption of natural resources. Copper slag is one of the materials that is considered as a industrial waste which can be used in construction Industry. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the properties of concrete using copper slag as partial replacement of fine aggregate.

Keywords


Copper slag, compressive strength, tensile strength, accelerated corrosion test, acid resistivity and SEM analysis
