        abstract = {Concrete today is expected to deliver higher strength and durability while remaining economical and energy efficient. At the same time, it is important to retain the inherent benefits that make concrete a preferred construction material. Growing environmental concerns and the increasing demand for concrete have encouraged the use of alternative materials to enhance its performance and sustainability.
This study focuses on experimentally evaluating concrete in which copper slag (CS) is used as a partial replacement for fine aggregates, and egg shell powder (ESP) is used as a partial replacement for cement. Different mix proportions will be prepared by replacing fine aggregates with copper slag at levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%, and replacing cement with egg shell powder at the same percentage intervals by weight.
A series of tests will be carried out to assess the mechanical and durability properties of the modified concrete, including compressive strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strength. The results obtained from these mixes will be compared with those of conventional concrete to evaluate how the inclusion of copper slag and egg shell powder influences the overall performance and characteristics of concrete.},
