Abstract
Self-compacting concrete (SCC) can flow by its self-weight and fill structural formwork without any mechanical devices. It solidifies the structure due to its strength and homogeneity. To improve SCC and to make a green concrete waste copper slag (WCS) is used as a partial replacement of fine aggregate. In this study, fine aggregate is replaced at 0%, 10% & 20% with WCS which is a by-product of the smelting process of copper ore in SCC mixes. The slump flow test, V-funnel test, and L-Box test are done to determine the fresh workability properties of SCC mixes. In addition, cubes of 100* 100*100 mm and prisms of size 100 mm × 100 mm × 500 mm are cast and cured for 28 days. On hardened SCC with WCS, compressive strength and flexure strength under two-point loading are conducted at the curing of the age of 28 days. The results show the workability property satisfy the EFNARC and IS 10262:2019 and the maximum increment of compressive and flexure strength at 40% and 5.5% at 28 days of curing of SCC mixes.
