The article presents the results of testing the effect of partial replacement of sand with fine copper slag waste on the thermal properties of hardened concrete. The impact of the replacement on mechanical properties (ie. compressive and tensile strength of concrete) was also investigated. The thermal properties of the concrete were determined using the non-stationary method with the ISOMET 2114 device. Tests were performed on concrete containing three different types of cement (CEM I, CEM II and CEM III). A total cement content of 360 kg/m3 was assumed in the compositions of all concrete mixes with a water-cement ratio of 0.45. Replacing 66% of the sand volume with copper slag waste caused a decrease in thermal conductivity by about 4–8% in relation to the reference concrete. In addition, the compressive strength of concrete containing copper slag increased by about from 4–21% in relation to the reference concrete.

The main aim of this paper is to carry out the environmentally based enhancement of a concrete mixture containing recycled materials whilst considering natural resource consumption as well as mechanical and thermal property levels. The developed concrete is intended to be used in mortarless masonry wall structures. Ten concrete mixtures with different types and replacement rates of recycled masonry aggregate and recycled expanded polystyrene were prepared, and their mechanical and thermal properties were experimentally investigated. It was found that the use of recycled masonry aggregate led to better thermal properties while maintaining sufficient mechanical properties. On the contrary, the addition of recycled expanded polystyrene did not significantly affect the thermal properties of concrete, but the mechanical properties considerably declined. For this reason, the recycled masonry aggregate is suitable to use as an aggregate for concrete masonry blocks for wall structures.
