Fresh and Hardened Properties of Self-Compacting Concrete Comprising a Copper Slag

Recycling trash and protecting natural resources are two of the many benefits using copper slag as a fine aggregate in concrete building. However, stakeholders need proven research output to build trust initiate or enhance use such industrial waste buildings. This study evaluated self-compacting concrete’s fresh hardened characteristics (SCC) comprising (CSA). For this purpose, six mixes were prepared by substituting river sand with CSA up 50%, 10% increment. The properties SCC slump flow, V-funnel, L-box tests. Several parameters examined, including water absorption, sorptivity, chloride ion penetration, sulphate attack, acid attack Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) scanning electron microscopy (SEM) used investigate microstructure. results indicated that enhanced amount increased consistently. durability showed considerable enhancement 20% CSA.
