Experimental Study on the Flexural Behavior of Reinforced Concrete Beams as Replacement of Copper Slag as Fine Aggregate Original Article, C28 Arivalagan.S Journal. Civil Eng. Urban. 3(4):176-182. 2013 ABSTRACT:Researchers studied and developed waste management strategies to apply for advantages for specific needs. Owing to the scarcity of fine aggregate for the preparation of mortar and concrete, partial replacement of Copper Slag with sand have been attempted. The effects of replacing fine aggregates by copper slag on the compressive strength of cubes, split tensile strength of cylinders and flexural strength of beams are evaluated in this study. Copper slag is obtained as waste product from the sterlite industries. Investigations were carried out to explore the possibility of using copper slag as a replacement of sand in concrete mixtures. The test results of concrete were obtained by adding copper slag to sand in various percentages ranging from 0%, 20%. 40% 60%, 80% and 100%. All specimens were cured for 28 days before compression strength test ,splitting tensile test and flexural strength. The highest compressive strength obtained was 35.11MPa (for 40% replacement) and the corresponding strength for control mix was 30MPa. This results of the research paper showed that the possibility of using copper slag as fine aggregate in concrete. The results showed the effect of copper slag on RCC concrete elements has a considerable amount of increase in the compressive, split tensile, flexural strength characteristics and energy absorption characteristics.
