Effect of copper slag addition on the properties of ambient cured alkali-activated pervious concrete
Source abstract
Abstract
Cement-based pervious concrete (CPC) demands a large fraction of cement in its composition to improve its mechanical strength. The major objective of the study is to develop a sustainable, ambient cured alkali-activated pervious concrete (AAPC) to accomplish superior mechanical and durability performance on par with the CPC. Copper slag (industrial by-product) is included in proportions of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% in place of natural aggregates. Test results indicated that the incorporation of copper slag at 20% resulted in maximum mechanical (compressive strength of 32.70 MPa) and durability properties but was limited by a low permeability value of 8.92 mm/s. In addition to the test, a detailed life cycle assessment was performed using the cradle-to-gate analysis. Based on the outcome, it is worth noting that the alkaline solution contributed to the increase in costs, energy consumption and carbon emissions of the AAPC mix by 39.85%, 86.53% and 60.43%, respectively.
