A number of cylindrical test specimens (38 mm diameter and 76 mm height) were prepared with raw materials such as copper slag and fly ash in different proportions. These samples were cured at a temperature of 30 0C and relative humidity of 85% in a humidity controlled chamber for different curing period of 0, 7, 14 and 28 days. The geotechnical properties of different trial mixes, namely,unconfined compressive strength, soaked CBR and triaxial shear strength were determined. The effects of fly ash and content and curing period on the above geotechnical properties were investigated. From the present study the 30% fly ash +70% copper slag mix was found to be optimum for use in subbase layers of the flexible pavements. Therefore,construction of road pavements utilizing the optimum mix as stated above is possible. This will help in conserving the conventional aggregates used for subbase and eliminate problems related to disposal of industrial waste like copper slag and fly ash.
