Experimental Study on Compressive Strength of Copper Slag Replaced Cement Concrete

TLDR: In this paper, the use of copper slag in the production of cement, cement mortar and cement concrete as raw material for clinker and as a partial replacement for cement, coarse aggregate and fine aggregate.

Abstract: Utilization of industrial waste and secondary materials is very much encouraged in construction industry and gaining importance. This concept supports in minimizing the environmental hazard and health problems. Copper slag is also one of the material considered as an industrial waste which can be used in construction Industry contribute to the reduction in consumption of natural resources. Many researchers have investigated the use of copper slag in the production of cement, cement mortar and cement concrete as raw material for clinker and as a partial replacement for cement, coarse aggregate and fine aggregate. The use of copper slag in cement and concrete extends potential environmental as well as economic benefits for all related industries, particularly in areas where considerable amount of copper slag is produced.
