 ABSTRACT
This paper deals with the experimental study of concrete by partial replacement of
fine aggregate with copper slag to increase the strength parameters such as compressive
strength, split tensile strength, and flexural strengths of the M30 concrete. Here the fine
aggregate partially replaced by copper slag (CS) in 20%,30%, & 40%. by weight of
sand. Mix design was prepared for M30 grade of concrete. By replacement of copper
slag as fine aggregate we can reduce the digging of river sand which effects the
hydraulic structure stability and as well as we can reduce the open land fill and
environmental pollution with copper slag usage it in concrete. Graphs are drawn
strength vs. replacement with M Sand results are compared with normal concrete. The
strength has been increased by 46% by replacement of 40% fine aggregate with CS.
Copper slag is an excellent by-product or waste material which retains its original
properties. Due to its chemical composition which includes high iron, silica and
aluminum oxide content, it can be used as a partial replacement for sand in concrete
mixes. The cube, beam and cylindrical specimens were then prepared, demolded after
24 hours and properly cured. The specimens were subjected to compression testing,
split tensile strength testing and flexural testing at 7,14-and 28-days.

Glass powder waste creates chronic environmental problems, mainly due to the
inconsistency of waste glass streams. Glass is widely used in our lives through
manufactured products such as sheet glass, bottles, glassware, and vacuum tubing.
Glass is an ideal material for recycling. The use of recycled glass helps in energy
saving. The increasing awareness of glass recycling speeds up inspections on the use of
waste glass with different forms in various fields. One of its significant contributions is
to the construction field where the waste glass was reused for concrete production. The
properties of concretes glass dust waste as fine aggregate were investigated in this
study. Glass dust waste was used as a partial replacement for sand at 10%, 20%
30%and 40% of concrete mixes. Compression strength for 7, 14- and 28-days concrete
of age were compared with those of concrete made with natural fine aggregates. The
results proved that highest strength activity given by glass dust waste after 28days.
