An experimental investigation on brick by partial replacement of red soil with copper slag and sculpture waste

Abstract

—Since the large demand has been placed on building material industry especially in the last decade owing to the increasing population, increase in infrastructure and also increase in new infrastructural projects. which causes a chronic shortage of building material; the civil engineering has been challenged to convert waste to use full building and construction material like brick.Recycling of such waste as raw material alternative may contribute In the exhaustion of the natural resources which will help to create awareness toward clean environment.In the review of utilization of those waste, this paper reviewed recycling various waste like copper slag and sculpture waste with Red Soil in Brick. All mixtures are subjected to oven curing until the testing age. However the brick specimen size is 220mm x 100mmx 100mm. Compression strength, Soundness, hardness test, water absorption test were conducted at 7, 14 and 28 days.
