Abstract:
Limitations have been laid on the large scale mining of river sand from river beds. In this context there was a need to consider an alternate solution to prevent erosion of river bed. Sea sand which is present in abundance and copper, a metal with high toughness property is considered for replacement. This paper mainly presents the practical study of the compressive strength and tensile strength of the concrete. In this study, M25grade concrete was used and tests were conducted for different mix proportions of sea sand and copper slag. The obtained results were compared with those of control concrete made with river sand. The tensile and compressive strength of concrete specimens for respective mix proportions were tested at 7, 14 and 28 days of water curing. The compressive strength of hardened concrete is reduced with increased percentage of replacement of sea sand, which is controlled by addition of copper slag.
