Abstract:The present work assessed the feasibility of applying blasted copper slag (BCS) as addition to cementitious composites. Series with 0-15% of BCS were produced and characterized by compression strength, durability, spread and specific gravity. In fresh state, the workability was enhanced in until 250% when adding the slag. Besides, both mechanical strength and durability indicators of BCSR-added concrete were also improved. Although the greater strength at the ages of 7 and 28 days was achieved for the referenc… Show more
