FEASIBILITY STUDY ON ADDITION OF HYPOSLUDGE IN CONCRETE

Utilization or effectual disposal of waste materials from the industries or from the other sources plays a vital role in global level to reduce the environmental pollution as per the environment policies of the respective countries. Reuse of process finished materials leads in the reduction of unnecessary land filling / dumping. Hypo sludge is an industrial preliminary waste generated from the caustic soda process of paper making and other specific manufacturing industries. In this investigation, preliminary steps have been executed so as to confirm the doable utilization of hypo sludge as an ancillary cementitious material in suitable proportions. In this study, a preliminary outcome has been arrived by observing the strength and basic durability parameters of mortar cubes by adding hyposludge with weight of cement taken and the results were interpreted. Based on the outcomes it was concluded that 10% addition of hypo sludge with cement reveals reasonable outcome with respect to the strength and durability aspects
