Abstract
Conservation of natural resources and preservation of environment is necessary thing. Rapid growth of industrialization has resulted the generation of huge quantity of wastes, both in solid and liquid in industrial sectors. It’s presumed that about 10-15% of wastes produced are hazardous and generation of hazardous wastes is increasing at the rate of 2- 5% per year. These generated waste were dumped on land or discharged in to water bodies and thus becomes a large source of environment pollution and health hazards. This study presents the information about utilization of industrial wastes as a suitable material for construction purposes, by which cost of
construction can be reduced and also a safe disposal of waste materials can be achieved. In the present study in concrete fine aggregates will be partially replaced by copper slag from 0-100% and optimal mix for M30 grade and M40 grade concrete is found out . The strength parameters such as compressive strength, split tensile and flexural strength is confirmed for 7 and 28 days of curing period . Based on the test appropriate results is derived.
