Abstract

Natural Sand is a common form of fine aggregate used in the preparation of concrete. However, due to rapid urbanization and large scale depletion of river bed, natural sand has become very expensive. Many non-conventional resources such as Stone Dust, Carbonate Sand, Fly ash, Copper Slag etc. with larger % of Silica (SiO ) have been tried out as an alternative to 2 river sand as fine aggregate in preparation of concrete. Copper Slag which is an industrial waste in the metal smelting process of copper production has shown promising result to be used as an alternative to sand in preparation of concrete. The use of copper slag in construction activity will also resolve the issues of disposing the industrial waste which is a major concern these days. This paper studies the behavioral aspects of Copper slag admixed concrete while it is subjected to both destructive and non destructive tests. It proposes to study the behavioral aspects by adding Crimped steel fibres with varying percentages from 0 to 1.5 in the mixes of M 20 and M 30 .

Keywords

Crimped Steel Fibre, Copper Slag, Rebound Hammer, Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity, Compressive Strength.
