Abstract:

Concrete is exclusive construction material which extensively used world widely. It is a mixture of cement, sand, aggregate, admixtures and water. The manufacturing of Portland cement which is the main ingredient of concrete releases a large amount of greenhouse gases especially CO2. On the other side, dumping of wastes produced from various industries, corporations and municipalities causes major environmental pollution issues. To minimize these effects, researchers are trying to use waste materials from industries as replacement material for cement or coarse aggregate or fine aggregates. During this research work an attempt has been made for simultaneous replacement of cement with hypo-sludge and fine aggregate with foundry sand. The present dissertation work is directed towards developing low cost concrete from paper industry waste, and foundry industry waste. The work is carried out with M30 grade concrete. The hypo sludge& foundry sand was replaced within the range of 10-30% by weight of cement& fine aggregate respectively. Cubes of 150mm x 150mm x 150mm in size, Cylinders of 150 mm diameter and 300 mm height, beams of 150mm x 150mm x 700mm were casted. In the present study, four different mixes are tested for parameters like: compressive strength, flexural strength and split tensile strength.
