Experimental Study Of Copper Slag & Pond Ash Based Concrete

Abstract

The Main Objective Of The Present Study Is To Find Out A Suitable, Effective And Alternative Material For Partial Replacement Of Cement And Coarse Aggregate, To Find Out Possible Utilization Of Waste Materials In Construction Industry That In Turn Considerably Minimize The Usage Of Cement And Coarse Aggregate And Ultimately Reduce Construction Cost, To Explore Possibilities Of Improving Mechanical Properties Of Concrete Using Copper Slag & Pond Ash Instead Of Fine Aggregate Partially, To Evaluate The Effect Of Using Copper Slag & Pond Ash In Concrete And To Investigate The Strength Of Replaced Concrete With That Of Conventional Concrete. This Project Is Mainly Undertaken To Study The Behavior And Performance Of Concrete Using Waste Materials Such As Copper Slag & Pond Ash. This Type Of Use Of A Waste Material Can Solve Problems Of Lack Of Aggregate In Various Construction Sites And Reduce Environmental Problems Related To Sand Mining And Waste Disposal. The Use Of Copper Slag & Pond Ash Can Also Reduce The Cost Of The Concrete Production And Increase The Workability.
