Experimental Study on Concrete Using Admixture Metakaolin, Copper Slag on M30 Grade Concrete

The last few decades are well thought-out to be the era of the self-compacting concrete and thousands of research has been carried out. In India, the development of concrete possessing self-compacting properties is still very much in its initial stages. Over the past couple of years, few attempts were made still the cost of production of such concrete is a challenging issue for the present concrete engineers. Hence, in the present study an attempt is done to understand the effect of copper slag as a mineral admixture on the properties of self compacting concrete. Hence, our attempt is to produce more economical, durable and sustainable SCC using mineral admixture. In the present study copper slag is that by product which is used in replacement with sand without disturbing properties of concrete with respect to strength, workability, and other mechanical properties.
