  • Abstract:
  • Concrete is always expected to be stronger and more durable than in the past while being cost and energy efficient. Moreover the major advantages that concrete possesses over the construction material have to be conserved. So, the need for improving the performance of concrete and concern for the environment impact arising from the continually increasing demand for concrete has lead the growing use of an alternative material components. An experimental investigation will be conducted to study the properties of concrete containing copper slag as a partial replacement of fine aggregates in the concrete mix design. Various durability test will be conducted on concrete to know the compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength by varying proportions of copper slag (CS) with fine aggregate by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% and egg shell powder (ESP) as cement by 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30% by weight. The obtained results will be compared with the conventional concrete, there by knowing the changes in the properties of concrete containing copper slag as a partial replacement of fine aggregate and egg shell powder as cement.
