EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF QUARY DUST BY COPPER SLAG IN FLYASH BRICK MANUFACTURING
Abstract
Construction industries are the backbone for infrastructure development in India. The various by - products produced from industries causes havouc & pollution in India. It has a major impact in the healthier environment of the Nation. various by-products such as Fly Ash(FA), Copper Slag(CS), Quary Dust(QD) and Gypsum(G) are produced millions of tons every year. These by- product causes environmental problem. In order to reduce the waste by-product, a study was made to evaluate the technical possibilities of incorporating fly ash, copper slag, quary dust and gypsum in the construction bricks. Various mixtures were repared by incorporating these industrial waste with different weight proportion. The suitable mix proportion has been identified and the physical and mechanical properties of that specimen such as unit weight, compressive strength, water absorption and efflorescence values has been compared with conventional building material types shows utilizat ion of these waste additives is not only for conservation of clay resources but also an alternative solution to difficult and expensive waste disposal problems.
