Abstract

Cupola furnaces, which are typically used in foundry industries to melt metals, produce cupola slag, one of the industrial byproducts Waseem, S. A., et al. (2021). There aren't many studies in the literature that show cupola slag being used in the making of concrete, and it is underutilized Waseem, S. A., et al. (2021). An attempt has been made to look into how cupola slag, when utilized in part in the form of a fine aggregate substitute, affects the mechanical characteristics and concrete's resilience Thakur et al., (2021). Five different percentages of Cupola slag were utilized to replace fine aggregate: 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% Veena, N et al., (2021). Moreover, the Water cement ratio is varied from 0.400 to 0.450 to 0.500 at a consistent 380 kg/m3 cement content Lanjewar, B et al., (2021).At lower water cement ratios are the improvement in strength of compression was larger. For split tensile strength, similar trends were seen Bhat, S et al., (2022). As the percentage of replacement cupola (CR) increased from 0% to 40%, a A reduction in the amount of water that penetrates depth was seen for all curing ages; This decrease was very noticeable at the water cement ratio of 0.4 Meshram, S. S et al., (2024). In a similar vein, all of the aforementioned metrics showed a notable enhancement in resistance to abrasion in terms of a decrease in the depths of wear Adese et al., (2021). To validate the experiment's results, strength and durability qualities were correlated Nainwal, A. Both the "effect" and the "size of effect" of the water cement ratio and CR percentage on the characteristics of concrete were examined using statistically significant findings using two-way analysis of variance Venkatesan, B et al., (2021. To demonstrate how CR and w/c ratio affect concrete quality at every age of curing, a quadratic correlation was created. According to the study's findings, one substance that is sustainable is cupola slag. That may be applied to partially replace natural sand Sambhaji, Z. K., & Autade, P. B. (2016).
