Abstract
The study define the behaviour of silica fumes and iron slag as partial replacement for cement, the study isto monitor the extend water cement ratios and workability of concrete can influence the growth rate of concrete strength, themodel grade of concrete were designedapplying partial replacement, thesewere adoptedin other to achieved the required target strength, such conditions were applied, but predominant influence were paramount goalthe study want to achieve, this carried outto determined the effect of these stated parameters in the study, modeling techniques were adopted, these concept includes modeling and simulating, these parameter applying this concept is to determine the extent of influence in the study it will also expressed various rate of effect on the growth rate of designed concrete grade, it is observed thatthe surface areaof concrete’s increases, particularly with the addition of fine aggregates, thisalso implies that it has a high demand for water. The study considered these reactions and monitors the extent from the mixed design; the increased in water leads to a higher water-to-cement ratio. Thus monitoring the variation effect of water cement ratios and it workability’s expressed the predominant influence and its variation that was observed on the study. The researchalso expressed high significant rates ofother parameters, this includesvariation ofthe addictive dosage, compaction of concrete, permeabilityand porosity at differentmodel concrete mix,the growth rate from the model concrete to generate the target strength observed initial inner, it remains in that conditiondue to it particle size that is finer than cement. it complement the fines modulus of concrete, thus provide a ball-bearing effect that improves thixotropic behaviour, this influence modify concrete viscosity, while slag expressed it significant on the model concrete as itreduced permeability, improved resistance to chemical attack. The study observed the influenced from these two addictive based on these stated effect on the strength development influenced by the influential parameters, the derived model simulation were compared with experimental values and both parameters expressed best fits correlation, Experts will definitely fine these tools as another conceptual technique in developing different concrete model with partial replacement of silica fumes, Iron Slag to attain any target strength of concrete design.

Introduction
Several researches has been carried out studies to monitor the use of some localized materials which includes iron slag waste tyre and Rice husk Ash as partial replacement of cement. There are numerous materials known to be concrete properties such as fine and coarse aggregates in strength development, these techniques are numerous in recent literatures [1-7], the techniques definitely has produced high percentage result, the use of waste tyre has established wonderful feasibility using gargantuan amounts from waste tyre in concrete products. There are materials such as the used of plastic waste, these material are product familiar to environmental issues that is contemporary around the globe Choi et al. [8], recent research were carried out to evaluate the influences of waste PET bottles aggregate on properties of concrete. The study has developed concept of applying waste tyre and bottles, it has reduced it by 2-6% of normal weight concrete. Marzouk et al. [9] carried out comprehensive research on the use of waste consumed plastic bottle, such materials are applied as partial replacement for sand; it was examined from the research carried out by monitoring and observed the density that was lowered when the PET aggregate exceeding 50% by volume of sand. Suganthy et al. [10] another investigation carried out shows the reduction in weight of concrete, while that of the plastic content experienced an increase Ode and Eluozo [11]. Marzouk [9] more so, studies were carried out to examined the decrease of compressive strength from plastic concrete; this techniques was applied on sand replaced with plastic. Al-Manasser and Dalal (1997) other studies was carried out by on the effect of plastic on concrete mix. The observation was that split tensile strength experienced reduction as the plastic content increased. Batayneh et al. [12] the expression was on split tensile strength and the flexural strength of concrete mix including slump on the replacement, it was observed that the plastic content went up. Numerous research and investigated the strengths of plastic concrete, as Batayneh et al. [12] mentioned that the integration of ground plastic on concrete had influence on its compressive strength [13,14]. Naik et al. [15] examined the influence from postconsumer waste plastic in concrete as a soft filer [16-20].

Materials and Method
Experimental Procedures: Test Compressive Strength of Concrete cubes and size of 150mm×150mm×150mm were cast with and without copper slag. During casting, the cubes were mechanically vibrated using a table vibrator. After 24 hours, the specimens were demoulded and subjected to curing for 7 and 56 days and seven-day interval to 56 days in portable water. After curing, the specimens were tested for compressive strength using compression testing machine of 2000KN capacity. The maximum load at failure was taken.
The average compressive strength of concrete and mortar specimens was calculated by using the following equation 5.1. Compressive strength (N/mm2) = Ultimate compressive load (N)
Area of cross section of specimen (mm2)
