Optimizing Concrete Strength and Sustainability: Quarry Dust and Copper Slag Powder Additives
Abstract: This research investigates the potential of quarry dust and copper slag powder additives to enhance the strength and performance of concrete. Compressive strength tests were conducted on mortar cubes at 7 and 28 days to evaluate the effects of these additives. The results indicate significant improvements in compressive strength over time, with Mix A4 achieving a remarkable 43.42% increase in strength at 28 days. Other mixes also demonstrated substantial strength …

A Comprehensive Review on Red mud as Construction Material and its Utilization for Environmental Advantage
Abstract: These materials can help to further decrease pollution and disposal difficulties when utilized effectively in civil engineering applications. Red mud, a byproduct of converting bauxite into aluminum, collects and occupies an increasing amount of deforested area because of its high alkalinity. With little chance of being used, an estimated redmud of 116 tons are created year globally, posing a major risk of contamination and pollution. However, because they will be …
