scholarly journals Experimental work on Plain Cement Concrete Partially Replaced with Tannery Sludge

This paper presents the result of an experimental study performed to investigate the effects of partial replacement of cement with tannery sludge mixture. The experiment deals with the compressive strength of concrete using tannery sludge mixture at different proportions. The resulting strength is compared with the concrete made up of 100% OPC i.e. control cube. The results obtained from compression tests are analyzed to identify the optimum proportion of tannery sludge mixture that can be replaced with cement to achieve the determined strength of the concrete. Many trails have been carried out and we have seen that the strength of concrete has successfully proved to increase in proportion to the sludge added. The highest strength is seen for 25% of sludge replaced for cement. Hence, from this investigation the partial replacement of cement by tannery sludge can be confidently recommended for future study on tannery sludge as a proving partial replacement for cement for an economic material purchase as well as enhancement of conservation of resources.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the compressive strength of concrete cubes containing termite mound soil. The specimens were cast using M20 grade of concrete. Two mix ratios for replacement of sand and cement are of 1:1.7:2.7 and 1:1.5:2.5 (cement: sand: aggregate) with water- cement ratio of 0.45 and varying combination of termite mound soil in equal amount ranging from 30% and 40% replacing fine aggregate (sand) and cement from 10%,15%,20% were used. A total of 27 cubes, 18 cylinders and 6 beams were cast by replacing fine aggregate, specimens were cured in water for 7,14 and 28 days. The test results showed that the compressive strength of the concrete cubes increases with age and decreases with increasing percentage replacement of cement and increases with increasing the replacement of sand with termite mound soil cured in water. The study concluded that termite mound cement concrete is adequate to use for construction purposes in natural environment.

This study assessed the effect of partial replacement of cement with plantain peel ash (PPA) and Polystrene (POL) on the compressive strength of concrete as a means of managing waste. Concrete specimens were prepared with a mix ratio of 1:2:4 (cement: sand: granite) water/cement ratio of 0.6, thereafter cement was partially replaced with PPA, POL and PPA/POL in increasing percentages of 5, 10, 15 and 20% by weight. Physical, chemical and microstructural analyses were also conducted on the aggregates and materials used. Workability of the concrete specimens was observed to improve upon addition of PPA and POL separately but not with blended PPA/POL while compressive strength decreased with addition of the three compounds. The observed results can be attributed to the lack of sufficient cementitious properties in the materials, and hence, the study discourages the use of these materials as they do not significantly improve concrete strength.

Concrete with various variants is a basic requirement in building a building. The concrete mixture is diverse depending on the planning made beforehand. The cement mixture is usually in the form of a mixture of artificial stone, cement, water and fine aggregates and coarse aggregates. Aggregates (fine aggregates and coarse aggregates) function as fillers in concrete mixtures. (Subakti, A., 1994). However, in building construction, additives are often added, but there is still a sense of uncertainty at the time of dismantling the mold and the reference before the concrete reaches sufficient strength to carry its own weight and the carrying loads acting on it. To overcome the time of carrying out work related to concrete, it is necessary to find an alternative solution, for example by looking for alternative ingredients of concrete mixture on the basis of consideration without reducing the quality of the concrete. From the results of previous studies it was stated that due to the partial replacement of cement with Fly Ash, the strength of the pressure and tensile strength of the concrete had increased (Budhi Saputro, A., 2008). Based on the description above, the author seeks to examine how the compressive strength of concrete characteristics that occur by adding additives Addition H.E in the concrete mixture and is there any additive Additon H.E effect on the increase in the compressive strength characteristic of the concrete. From the results of the study, it was found that the compressive strength of the concrete with the addition of additives HE was that after the compressive strength test of the concrete cube was carried out and the analysis of concrete compressive strength of 10 specimens, in each experiment a cube specimen was made with the addition of additons. HE with a dose of 80 cc, 120 cc, and 200 cc can accelerate and increase the compressive strength of concrete characteristics.

The aim of this paper is to study the influence of lithium-slag and fly ash on the workability , setting time and compressive strength of alkali-activated slag concrete. The results indicate that lithium-slag and fly-ash can ameliorate the workability, setting time and improve the compressive strength of alkali-activated slag concrete,and when 40% or 60% slag was replaced by lithium-slag or fly-ash, above 10 percent increase in 28-day compressive strength of concrete were obtained.
