  • Abstract:
  • An experimental investigation was conducted stating the utilization of Copper Slag as Fine Aggregate as replacement of Cement and Jhamma Bricks as Coarse Aggregate. Concrete isa very useful material and nowadays it is not only used for building construction but also used in construction of roads, dams, bridges and also many other important structures. Copper Slag is a by – product of copper extraction by Smelting. Smelting is a process of extraction of metal from its ore. During Smelting, impurities become Slag which floats onthe molten metal. Slag that is quenched in water produces annular granules which is disposed of waste. Copper Slag is used as a building material, formed into blocks. Flue Ash, also known as Pulverized Fuel Ash is a Coal combustion product that is composed of particulates (fine particles of the burned fuel) that are driven out of the coal – fired of boilers together with the gases. Fly Ash use in concrete improves the workability of the Plastic Concrete, Strength and Durability of the hardened Concrete. Jhamma Brick pieces are the over burned bricks pieces which are used as Coarse Aggregate in Concrete. Further they are used in concrete by replacing the regular Concrete materials and tests are conducted to check their performance with respect to the general Concrete materials. Strength
