Concrete is widely used material in the construction industry for building structures that are ordinary to those that involve highly
specialized jobs. Experimental work was carried out to gather information about the properties of plain cement concrete with
replacement of fine aggregate with copper slag and cement with fly ash. Copper Slag have been used by varying its percentage by
weight of cement as 30%, 40% and 50% and also fly ash for M25 grade in the percentage of 15%, 20%, and 30% and for M35
grade in the percentage of 5%, 10% and 15% to cover the largest contribution to the construction industry using ordinary
concrete as also substantially large component of the same using standard concrete. Effect of copper slag and fly ash as a
replacement of fine aggregate and cement respectively on properties of concrete like workability, compressive strength, split
tensile strength has been studied.
