INTRODUCTION
Concrete is a complex material which is composed
primarily of cement, fine aggregates and coarse
aggregates blended in portable water that hardens
with time. The aggregates are generally crushed rocks
or coarse rock like lime stones, along with fine
aggregates i.e., sand. Portland cement is usually used
for production of concrete and other materials which
have compendious properties such as fly as cement all
are function as a binder for the aggregates.
COPPER SLAG
Copper slag is a by-product of copper smelting and
refining process. As refineries draw metal out of
copper ore, they produce a large volume of non-
metallic dust, soot, and rock. Copper slag which is an
industrial waste obtained from smelting and refining
process of copper from industry. Nearly four tons of
copper is obtained as waste is disposed to lands
cause’s environmental impacts. So it can be reused as
concreting materials. In refinery plants when copper
metal produced by extraction process then copper slag
is generated in a large amount in the production of
copper metal. About 2-2.5 tons of copper slag
produced for each one ton of copper production.
Production of concrete has many environmental
benefits for example waste recycling and resolve
disposal problems. Concrete is wide utilized in the
development of superior structures like high rise
buildings, long-span bridges etc. So, it must have
higher workability, it has superior mechanical
properties than those of typical concrete. In order to
produce concrete with good mechanical properties, fly
ash and silica fume that are assume as waste materials
used one of the most constituent. Concrete production
with that material gives upgrading in workability
compared to traditional concrete.

SUGARCANE BAGASSE ASH (SCBA)
Bagasse is fibrous waste produced after the extraction
of sugar juice from cane mills. Bagasse ash is build-
up gotten from burning of bagasse in sugar delivering
manufacturing plants. The bagasse mass much of the
time deals with issue of removal in sugar production
lines especially in central nations. In various tropical
nations, there is ample quantity of Bagasse affluent in
amorphous silica indicating its pozzolanic properties.
Utilization of agricultural waste and industrial

products for construction has been heart of
exploration for economical and environmental
reasons.
Objectives
The objectives of the research are outlined below:
To study the properties of fresh and harden
concrete prepared by replacement of copper slag
and sugarcane bagasse ash for M-30 grade
concrete.

Mechanical Strength
To evaluate the mechanical strength characteristics of concrete reinforced with copper slag and sugarcane
bagasse ash materials, detailed experimental investigation was carried out and the results are discussed in the
forthcoming sections.
Cube Compressive Strength
Totally 108 cube specimens of size 150 mm x150 mm x 150 mm with 3 mixes were casted and tested. Three
volume fractions were considered for copper slag and sugarcane bagasse ash Results for compressive strength
based on the average values of three test data are shown in Figure.

Conclusion-
Based on the experimental investigation the following
conclusion is given within the limitation of the test
result.
The Compressive Strength of M-30 solid mix [5]
increments from 32.44 N/mm2 to 34.54 N/mm2
on expanding the level of copper slag (from 0% to
5%) with 20% SCBA.
The Split Tensile Strength of M-30 solid mix
increments from 3.09N/mm2 to 3.15N/mm2on [6]
expanding the level of copper slag (from 0% to
5%) with 20% SCBA.
The Flexural quality of M-30 solid mix
increments from 6.38N/mm2 to 6.68N/mm2 on
expanding the level copper slag (from 0% to 5%) [7]
with 20% SCBA.
