Fatigue Characteristics of Bituminous Concrete Mixtures Utilizing Copper Slag
India has a large number of copper production plants. All of its by-products, copper slag, are deposited in open places at random, causing serious several environmental hazards. The purpose of this research is to investigate the efficacy of utilizing copper slag (a combination of fine aggregate and mineral filler) in enhancing the engineering features, particularly the fatigue life of bituminous concrete grading 2 mixtures (BC-2) prepared with copper slag. The investigation began with an examination of the copper slag’s morphology (SEM—Scanning Electron Microscope) and chemical characteristics (EDXA—Energy Dispersive X-ray Analyzer). Then, five different copper-slag-containing mixtures were investigated. The copper slag’s efficacy was determined by the improvement in Marshall stability, split tensile strength ratio (TSR), modulus of resilience, and fatigue life of bituminous concrete grading-2 Marshall cylindrical specimens. It was observed that the bituminous concrete grading-2 mixture with CSFAMF (Copper Slag as Fine Aggregate and Mineral Filler) showed higher efficiency to repeated load than the mixture with traditional materials.
