Abstract

Utilization of industrial waste materials has encouraged in construction field for the making of concrete because it contributes to reducing the consumption of natural resources. Self – compacting concrete (SCC) is a high – performance concrete which can flow under its own weight and it fills the form work thoroughly and self-consolidates without any additional mechanical vibration. Such concrete can accelerate the placement and reduce the labour needs for compaction and finishing. Copper slag is considered as one of the waste materials which can have a hopeful expectation in construction industry as partial or full alternative of aggregates. The objective of this work is to study the strength properties of self-compacted copper slag concrete. For this purpose M30 grade concrete was used and test were conducted for various proportion of sand replaced by copper slag at 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% and silica fume were used as an admixture to the concrete.

Keywords: Packing factor, Passing ability, Filling ability
