Abstract

Concrete is the widely used construction material. Requirements like strength, durability, impermeability, fire-resistance and abrasion resistance are matched by concrete. Aggregates are considered as a prime constituent of concrete since they occupy more than 70% of the concrete matrix. As a consequence of the increase in construction requirement, the usage of these natural resources has increased which will lead to the shortage of these materials. In order to reduce the use of natural aggregates in concrete, artificially manufactured and artificial aggregates generated from industrial wastes such as copper slag provide an excellent alternative for the construction industry.
