 EXPECTED OUTCOME
INTRODUCTION

 Manufacturing of 1 ton of paper = 300Kg dry sludge

 3-8 cycles of possible recycling
 Present use of residual sludge:
 a). In landfill
 b). Incineration for energy recovery
 High volume of waste, potential for re – use
 Solution of waste management problems
 New resource for construction industry
 Reduction in co2 emission
 Supplementary cementitious material
 Partial replacement of binders in concrete
 OBJECTIVES
1) To study the properties of concrete in fresh state.
2) To
study the properties of concrete in hardened state and to
determine the density , water absorption test, compressive
strength test, split tensile strength, and flexural strength .
3) To determine
the optimum percentage of paper sludge to make quality
concrete. 4) To
determine the X RAY DIFRACTION test and PULSE
VELOCITY test.
5) Comparison of the results of various characteristics
with control mix.
 MARETIAL USED
1)Cement
The most common cement used is an Ordinary Portland
Cement (OPC). The Ordinary Portland Cement of 53 grade
conforming to IS:8112-1989 is used. Many tests were
conducted on cement; some of them are specific gravity,
consistency tests, setting time tests, compressive strengths,
etc.
2) Hypo Sludge
In the Present Study, Paper Sludge is used to replace
cement was collected from a local paper making factory is
collected from south India paper mills limited mysore
district, Thandavapura, Karnataka.
3) Coarse Aggregate
Machine crushed Hard Granite stones confirming to IS-383-1970
consisting of 20mm maximum size of aggregate has been obtained
from local quarry it has been tested physical and mechanical
properties. It should be free from impurities such as dust, clay particles
and organic matters etc .The mix was done for 60% of 12.5mm size and
40% of 12.5mm down size.
 
4) Fine aggregate
Locally available sand obtained from reliable supplier passing
through 4.75 mm sieve was used in the study. It should be clean, hard,
strong and free from organic impurities and deleterious substance.
 
5) Water
Water is an important ingredient of concrete as it actually participates
in the chemical reaction with cement. Since it helps to from the
strength giving cement gel, the quantity and quality of water is
required to be looked into very carefully.
METHODOLOGY

 Testing the material properties as per Indian

standards code procedure
 casting and curing the concrete specimens as
per Indian standard code
 The characteristic strength of hardened
concrete specimen was tested as per IS 456:2000
LITRATURE REVIEW
 Jayesh Kumar Pitroda (2013): experimentally investigated the
paper industry waste (hypo sludge) as partial replacement with
cement in concrete. This paper reports the results of experiment
evaluating the use of hypo sludge from paper industry as partial
replacement for ordinary port land cement in cement concrete,
 The cement was replaced by hypo sludge accordingly in the range
0% (without hypo sludge),10%,20%,30%, and 40% by weight for
M-25 and M-40 mix.
 . The compressive strength was determined at curing age of 7
days 14 days and 28 days respectively where split tensile strength
was determined at curing age of 56 days.
 . As a result, the compressive strength of concrete increased up to
10% addition of hypo sludge and further increase in hypo sludge
reduces the strength gradually.
 Sajad Ahmad , experimentally investigated the partial replacement of
cement with waste paper sludge ash.
 The aim of this study is to develop alternative binder to make concrete
industry sustainable and to examine the feasibility of utilization the
waste paper sludge ash as partial cement replacement material.
 The scope of this study is to cast the concrete specimens and conduct
the compressive test, split tensile strength test water absorption test
and dry density test, with specified combination of waste paper
sludge .In this project M25 concrete is designed for various
combinations.
 In this study waste paper sludge ash was partially replaced as 5% ,
10%,15%,20% of weight of cement. Concrete is cast and compressive
test, split tensile strength test, durability test, water absorption test
and dry density test was carried out to find the best combination
which results in optimum percentage of strength.
 EXPECTED OUTPUT
The physical observation such as the effect of adding waste
paper sludge as partial replacement for cement can give us
valuable information regarding to the various strength
parameter of concrete.
The increase in the addition of waste paper sludge may
increase the strength of concrete up to certain limit and
further increase in the addition of waste paper may
decrease the strength of concrete.
It may also help us to reduce the total cost of cement and
concrete manufacturing, thus helping in reduction of
landfill cost, saving energy and protecting the environment
from possible pollution effects.
