An Experimental Study of Copper Slag and Discarded Tyre Materials for the Manufacturing of Concrete Brick

Awareness towards a clean environment is growing day by day and at the same time waste materials are not permitting to achieve a clean environment. So in our project, fine aggregate is replaced by copper slag and coarse aggregate is replaced by discarded tyres. Because the copper slag has a same particle size and physical properties similar to the fine aggregate. By the use of discarded tyres in Brick it reduces the self weight of the concrete.The grade of concrete used is M35 and the size of the mould is 20cmx10cmx10cm. Size of the Brick is 19cmx9cmx9cm. By the replacement of 0% to 100% of copper slag (by weight) as replacement of fine aggregate. And by the replacement of 0% to 50% of fly ash (by weight) as replacement for the cement. And the coarse aggregate is fully replaced by discarded tyres. And then the Compressive Strength of the brick is obtained. Optimum value of compressive strength is identified and then the soundness test, Hardness test, Absorption test are to be conducted.
