Abstract : Concrete is used in large quantities almost everywhere mankind has a need for infra structure. The amount of concrete used worldwide, ton for ton, is twice that of steel, wood, plastics, and aluminum combined. Concrete is also the basis of a large commercial industry. Copper slag is the material which is considered as a waste material, which can have a bright future in construction industry as partial replacement of either fine aggregates. When it is introduced in concrete as a replacement material, it reduces the environmental pollution, space problem and also reduces the cost of concrete. In production of every ton of copper, approximately 2.2–3.0 tons’ copper slag is generated as a by-product material. The addition of copper slag will slightly increase the tensile strength of concrete, flexural strength of concrete.

Keywords: Copper slag, Compressive strength, Split tensile strength
