PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF FINE AGGREGATE WITH COPPER SLAG – A REVIEW.

Abstract

This paper deals with the experimental study of concrete by partial replacement of fine aggregate with copper slag to increase the strength parameters such as compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strengths of the M30 concrete. Here the fine aggregate partially replaced by copper slag (CS) in 20%,30%,40% and 50%by weight of sand. Mix design was prepared for M30 grade of concrete. By replacement of copper slag as fine aggregate we can reduce the digging of river sand which effects the hydraulic structure stability and As well as we can reduce the open land fill and environmental pollution with copper slag usage it in concrete. Graphs are drawn strength vs. replacement with C Sand results are compared with normal concrete. The strength has been increased by 46% by replacement of 40%fine aggregate with CS.
