B.Result and discussion Percentage air voids On the replacement of cupola slag we obtained the result that, on the percentages of 10, 20, 30 and 40 we have the Va values of 4.8, 4, 4.8 and 3.2 % which satisfies the morsth requirement of 3-5% and further we observed that the gradual decrease in the Va values up to 100%. So that for Va the replacement of cupola slag up to 40 % will satisfies the morsth requirement. Percentage of voids in mineral aggregate On the replacement of cupola slag we…
