Use of waste materials in road construction has been in vogue in India for quite sometime. This is particularly necessitated by the problems of disposal associated with it. Otherwise, these materials would cause problems to the environment. Copper slag is one of the waste materials that are being used extensively in the civil engineering construction industry. Copper producing units in India leave thousands of tonnes of copper slag as waste every day. Large quantities of the accumulated slag is dumped and left on costly land, causing wastage of good cultivable land. Based on U.S. environmental protection agency regulations, governing solid waste characteristics, copper slag can be classified as a non-hazardous material. Granulated copper slag is more porous and, therefore, has particle size equal to that of coarse sand. In this paper, a review of the previous research studies carried out by various researchers on utilization of copper slag in geotechnical applications is discussed and presented.
