Use of copper slag (CS) as a replacement for fine aggregate (FA) in RC slender columns was experimentally investigated in this study. Twenty columns measuring 150 mm x150 mm x 2500 mm were tested for monotonic axial compression load until failure. The concrete mixture included ordinary Portland cement (OPC) cement, fine aggregate, 10 mm coarse aggregate, and CS. The cpercentage of cement, water and coarse aggregate were kept constant within the mixture, while the percentage of CS as a replacement for fine aggregate varied from 0 to 100%. Four 8 mm diameter high yield steel and 6 mm mild steel bars were used as longitudinal and transverse reinforcement, respectively. Five cubes measuring 100 mm x100 mm x100 mm, eight cylinders measuring 150 mm x 300 mm and five prisms measuring 100 mm x 100 mm x 500 mm were cast and tested for each mixture to determine the compressive and tensile strengths of the concrete. The results showed that the replacement of up to 40% of the fine aggregate with CS caused no major changes in concrete strength, column failure load, or measured flexural stiffness (EI). Further increasing the percentage reduced the concrete strength, column failure load, and flexural stiffness (EI), and increased concrete slump and lateral and vertical deflections of the column. The maximum difference in concrete strength between the mixes of 0% CS and 100% CS was 29%, with the difference between the measured/ control failure loads between the columns with 0 and 100% CS was 20% the maximum difference in the measured EI between the columns with 0 and 100% CS was 25%. The measured to calculated failure loads of all specimen varied between 91 and -100.02%. The measured steel strains were proportional to the failure loads. It was noted that columns with high percentages of CS (

Hybrid Fiber

The conventional concrete is considered to be critical in various constructional applications due to its setbacks such as service load failures, brittle property, low ductility and low tensile capacity. Apart from the natural bridging mechanism (aggregate bridging), an additional bridging mechanism is necessary to overcome the existing setbacks in plain cement concrete. Thus concrete with one or more types of fibers in suitable combinations can augment the mechanical performance of concrete causing a positive synergy effect. Along with the two control mixes with and without copper slag as partial replacement of fine aggregate, two different groups of hybrid combination of fibers such as steel and basalt were cast with 3 different groups of coarse aggregate proportions of sizes 20 mm and 12.5 mm. The hybridization of fibers is assessed in this study under compression, tension, flexure and fracture. Stress-strain data were recorded under compression to validate the strain capacity of the mixtures. The mechanical properties were analyzed for the positive hybrid effect and the influencing factors were copper slag, hybrid fiber combination and coarse aggregate proportions. The optimum volume fraction of fibers and mix proportions were highlighted based on various behaviors of concrete. Steel as macro fibers and basalt as microfibers were examined under microstructural studies (SEM and EDX). The results from the flexural toughness showcased the potential of hybrid fibers with greater energy absorption capacity ensuring the ductile property of the proposed hybrid fiber reinforced concrete.

Lately, development of concrete using industrial byproducts has garnered major significance in the construction industry in order to overcome problems associated with depleted natural resources. As, river sand is costly and also large scale exhaustion of these sources generates environmental harms, a substitute or replacement product for concrete industry is very indispensable. In such a situation, the copper slag can be proposed as an alternative to the river sand, which is an industrial by-product obtained from the manufacturing of copper. The present investigation assesses the incorporation of copper slag in concrete (CSC). In this paper, experimental investigations are carried to understand the flexural characteristics such as such as first crack, ultimate load carrying capacity, maximum crack width and deflection at service load and at centre of steel fibred copper slag mixed under-reinforced concrete beams. Results showed that the compressive strength of concrete decreases as copper slag content increases beyond 40%. The reduction in compressive strength beyond 40% replacement of river sand due to the increase in free water content in concrete mixes due to the low absorption properties of copper slag which can cause excessive bleeding at higher copper slag content. The load-deflection behaviour of under-reinforced, normal and copper slag concrete beams is witnessed to be alike apart from the increased values of ultimate failure loads and ultimate deflections at failure in steel fibred copper slag concrete beams.

Effect Of Copper

This paper investigates the fresh and durability properties of the high-performance concrete by replacing cement with 15% Silica fume and simultaneously replacing fine aggregates with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% copper slag at w/b ratio of 0.23. Five mixes were analysed and compared with the standard concrete mix. Fresh properties show an increase in the slump with the increase in the quantity of copper slag to the mix. Sorptivity, chloride penetration, UPV and carbonation results were very encouraging at 50% copper slag replacement levels. Microstructure analysis of these mixes shows the emergence of C-S-H gel for nearly all mixes indicating densification of the interfacial transition zone of the concrete.
