Abstract:

Nowadays, the use of cement in the construction industry has been increased day by day which causes damage to the environment as the cement industry emits maximum amount of carbon dioxide. To reduce environmental pollution and save natural resources, it is essential to preserve it for our future generations. In order to solve the above problem, wastepaper sludge ash and Quartz is used as an alternative for cement and sand.

In the proposed work, cement is replaced by 5, 10, 15 and 20% percent by wastepaper sludge ash and the percentage on which optimum strength obtained i.e. 5% replacement is kept constant and natural sand is replaced by Quartz, varying the percentage by 25, 50 and 75%. The compressive strength of concrete is tested by using compressive testing machine and rebound hammer.

Research done showed that Waste Paper Sludge Ash can be used as cement replacement up to 5% by weight. Maximum Compressive strength of cubes with 5% WSA and 50% QS is observed to be 44 MPa.
