    This document discusses the utilization of copper slag as a partial replacement for fine aggregates in bituminous mixes. The objective was to compare the properties of conventional mixes to those with copper slag added. Materials were collected and tested, then Marshall specimens were prepared with varying doses of bitumen and copper slag. Specimens were tested for stability and flow in the Marshall test. Results showed addition of 15% copper slag improved volumetric properties and mechanical characteristics of the mix. In conclusion, copper slag can be partially used to replace aggregates in bituminous mixes, helping reduce disposal and environmental issues.

    Introduction

     Copper slag is considered as one of the waste materials which will have a promising
    future in construction industry as a partial substitute of either natural aggregates. For
    each ton of copper production, about 2.2 tones of copper slag is generated. In order to
    reduce the accumulation of copper slag and also to provide an alternative material to
    aggregates an approach has been done to investigate the use of copper slag in the
    partial replacement of bitumen mix.
     Recently due to increase in environmental concerns and inflation in cost of pavement
    materials, there is a growing interest in the scientific community in replacing
    conventional fillers with alternative environmentally friendly materials.
     Filler is an integral part of asphalt mixes and influences their performances against
    various distresses. Filler can be termed as the finest portion of aggregate which passes
    through 75µ IS sieve.
    Objective of study

     The objective of this research is to compare the properties of conventional


    HMA samples and HMA samples having some percentage of copper slag as a
    replacement of fine aggregates. The specimens were tested in the Marshall
    testing machine for stability and flow. The characteristics of mineral filler
    material have been investigated to determine their potential in upgrading
    performance of asphaltic concrete, particularly by increasing hot mix stability
    and durability to lessen problems with shoving and rutting.

     Aggregate gradation is one of the most important properties in bituminous mixture, which
    affects almost all the important properties like stability, durability, workability and
    resistance to moisture damage. Therefore, gradation is a primary consideration of
    bituminous mix design. The typical aggregate gradation is taken for the design of DBM,
    grade 2 as per the MORTH Specification in order to explore the potential use of Copper
    Slag in optimum level, which enhances the property of the mixes to get the final grading.
    Results And Discussion
    Conclusion

     Addition of copper slag of (15%) in aggregate of DBM grade II mix improves good
    interlocking and eventually improved the volumetric properties as well as the
    mechanical properties of the mix. Because of the improved property by the
    incorporation of copper slag, it can be used in bituminous mixes as a partial
    replacement in aggregates, which normally used in the conventional bituminous mixes.
    A field study may be undertaken at different climatic/traffic conditions on national/state
    highways.
     Due to the use of copper slag in the bituminous mix, the disposal problem and the
    environmental problem can be reduced to certain extent.
