Effect Of Copper

This paper investigates the fresh and durability properties of the high-performance concrete by replacing cement with 15% Silica fume and simultaneously replacing fine aggregates with 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% copper slag at w/b ratio of 0.23. Five mixes were analysed and compared with the standard concrete mix. Fresh properties show an increase in the slump with the increase in the quantity of copper slag to the mix. Sorptivity, chloride penetration, UPV and carbonation results were very encouraging at 50% copper slag replacement levels. Microstructure analysis of these mixes shows the emergence of C-S-H gel for nearly all mixes indicating densification of the interfacial transition zone of the concrete.

In the article the possibility of using surface blast-cleaning waste (copper slag based) as a replacement of fine aggregate in high performance concrete manufacturing was presented. Concrete with w/c ratio 0.45 and 360 kg/m3 dosage of cements: CEM I 42.5R, CEM II/B-V 42.5N and CEM III/A 42.5N was tested. The consistency measured in table flow test was assumed as 420 ± 30 mm so superplasticizer was used. The replacement rate of the fine aggregate 0–2 mm with the copper slag (CS) waste was 66 %. Concrete mixtures with sand served as reference. The performed tests focused on: compressive and tensile strength (both after 28 days), sorptivity, free water absorption capacity, Torrent air permeability, and chloride ingress depth after salt fog treatment. A freeze resistance test was also carried out according to PN-B-06265. The obtained results showed that the strength and some other tested properties of concrete mixtures with copper slag waste were similar or better than those of the mixtures with sand. The results of the tests indicate that the concrete with copper slag waste is more tight than the concrete with sand and therefore is more durable.

The challenge before the construction industry is to meet the demand of the efficient and economically viable construction materials posed by the huge infrastructural needs. Many nations are observing an expeditious growth in the field of construction necessitating the utilization of natural reserves for the expansion of infrastructure. This expansion is giving a warning to available reserves of nature. The natural ingredients, fine aggregates and coarse aggregate constitute more than 70% volume of the concrete. The availability of these resources is decreasing at a very high pace. In fact due to the severe problem with the availability of natural sand, the construction industry is faced with the pressing need to consider available options to lessen the reliance on natural aggregates. Copper slag being a waste material, can be used as an option for fine aggregates. The substitution of fine aggregate from nature with waste materials from industries such as copper slag offers economic and technical dominance, which are of pronounced significance in the present scenario. This study is, based on the critical review of the development of High Performance Concrete (HPC) by replacing fine aggregate with copper slag by observing various other researches and reviews. The key intent of this paper is to closely look at the copper slag utility as an unconventional material to be used as a substitute of fine aggregate and its effect on mechanical and durability parameters of HPC.

This study focuses on the effect on the mechanical characteristics of high performance concrete upon the utilization of copper slag in order to replace the fine aggregate. Copper slag has chemical and mechanical characteristics that can make the material a probable and efficient replacement material to river sand in concrete. On the other hand extraction of the sand from river bed in excess quantity is hazardous to the environment. River sand was partially and fully replaced (100%) by Copper slag in various proportions in the concrete. The concrete is also added with fibres in order to improve its mechanical properties. The addition of micro steel, hooked steel and polyester fibres in hybrid form with 1.0-1.25% to the total volume of concrete is found to be beneficial to the concrete. From the test results the concrete with 50% of its fine aggregate replaced with copper slag shows the better results; improved performance in compressive, split tensile, flexural strength, toughness and ductility. The addition of micro steel and hooked steel in the concrete produced a concrete of lower water absorption percentage.

This study involves the optimization of design mix proportion for saturated water absorption of high performance concrete (HPC) by Taguchi Method. In the present investigation, saturated water absorption test on 25 HPC mixes specimens made with colloidal nano silica and copper slag as replacement of cement and fine aggregate respectively has been conducted at the age of 28 days and 90 days of water curing. The concrete mixes has been replaced by 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3% of nano silica and copper slag of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%. From Signal-to-Noise ratio, the optimal parametric combination for saturated water absorption has been obtained. The Analysis of Variance has been done on experimental data values. The percentage contribution of the factors towards saturated water absorption is identified. The nano silica contributes towards less water absorption in 28 days curing, while the Copper slag found to the major contributing factor for the cause after the 90 days tenure of water curing.

AbstractThis study aimed to determine the abrasion resistance of ultra-high-performance concretes (UHPCs) for railway sleepers. Test samples were made with different cementitious material combinations and varying steel fiber contents and shapes, using conventional fine aggregate. A total of 25 UHPCs and two high-strength concretes (HSCs) were selected to evaluate their depth of wear and bulk properties. The results of the coefficient of variation (CV), relative gain in abrasion, and abrasion index of the studied UHPCs were also obtained and discussed. Furthermore, a comparison was made on the resistance to wear of the selected UHPCs with those of the HSCs typically used for prestressed concrete sleepers. The outcomes of this study revealed that UHPCs displayed excellent resistance against abrasion, well above that of HSCs. Amongst the utilized cementitious material combinations, UHPCs made with silica fume as a partial replacement of cement performed best against abrasion, whereas mixtures containing fly ash showed the highest depth of wear. The addition of steel fibers had a more positive influence on the abrasion resistance than it did on compressive strength of the studied UHPCs.
