Abstract

Advancements in concrete technology can help reduce the use of natural resources such as river sand and aggregates while minimizing environmental impacts. The steel manufacturing industry generates large quantities of copper slag as a by-product, which creates disposal problems and can negatively affect the environment.

This study investigates the suitability of using copper slag as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in concrete production. Recycling industrial waste materials like copper slag helps in effective waste management, reduces the dependency on natural resources, and promotes sustainable construction practices.

In this research, copper slag is incorporated into concrete mixes by replacing fine aggregate at different proportions while maintaining other mix parameters constant. The influence of copper slag addition on the mechanical properties of concrete is evaluated through compressive strength and split tensile strength tests. The study also examines the properties of locally available copper slag and its potential application as an alternative material for improving concrete performance without affecting strength and durability.

Keywords: Copper Slag, Fine Aggregate Replacement, M20 Concrete, M25 Concrete, Compressive Strength, Split Tensile Strength, Sustainable Construction.
