Abstract:

Tremendous amount of waste are generated every year from paper mill industries and are being dumped at nearby places creating a big distraction. If these waste are managed and are utilized by finding some alternative uses it would be very beneficial to the society One such waste produced from paper mill industries is Paper sludge ash technically known as Hypo Sludge Ash. This paper deals with the waste produced from the paper mill industry in terms of Hypo Sludge Ash (HSA) as a replacement to cement. This Hypo Sludge Ash can be used as a replacement to cement in varying proportions such as 0%,5%,10%,15%,20% and very convincing results can be obtained. Grade concrete is used as per the requirement and accordingly mix design is prepared. Different tests are performed for testing the efficiency of concrete. Concrete cubes of size 150*150*150mm is prepared for calculation of compressive test using compression testing machine (CTM), with curing at 7,14, 28 days and concrete beams of size 100*100*500 mm is prepared for Flexural testing using Flexural Testing Machine (FTM) for curing at 28 days along with this water absorption and accelerated curing also yields good results. It was found that compressive strength and flexural strength increased at 5%, 10% replacement of cement with Hypo Sludge Ash.
