Abstract :
This paper illustrate the behavior of partially replaced cement and fine aggregate by silica fume and copper slag in the production of concrete. Silica fume and copper slag are the waste materials that are disposed by the copper smelting industries in large quantities. So in order to utilize the waste materials effectively this study has been carried out. This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on the concrete using silica fume and copper slag as a partial replacement for cement and fine aggregate respectively. For this study M60 grade concrete were evaluated for workability, compressive strength, spilt tensile strength, flexural strength and water absorption. To determine the strength parameters the specimens were casted for various replacement levels and the harden concrete strength were tested for 7 and 28 days.
