A Review on Partial Substitution of Copper Slag with Sand in Concrete Material

Abstract

The main objective of this review study is to gather various examination studies available by different researchers for waste utilization of copper slag in concrete through various techniques. Concrete is used in huge amount almost the world over mankind has a requirement for infrastructure. Waste materials increases day by day and creates pollution in the environment. Researchers studied to reuse the useful waste into the concrete like steel slag, copper slag and polymer wastes by using this process we can make concrete economical by replacing waste materials through fine aggregates. Sand is a natural resources and depletion of sand is a big issue for environment. So it is necessary to protect environment and reduction of waste by recycling and reusing of waste materials. This survey study based on the concrete performances by replacing copper slag and to find out the optimum solution of waste replacement in concrete by studying various authors researches and reviews. The primary objective of this paper is to study the application of copper slag as an alternative replacement material of sand. Also studies the result of substitution of Fine aggregate with copper slag on mechanical performances of concrete.
