EFFECT OF TREATED WASTEWATER ON PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE

Abstract

By introducing innovative strategies and methodologies, the modern world is focusing on asset conditioning, sustainability, and recycling. In order to assess the strength of concrete constructed with treated waste water, an experimental investigation was done. Before filling the mould, tests are performed on the cement paste. The curing time for the test cubes was 3, 7, and 28 days. The compressive and tensile strength of hardened cement cubes were measured after curing. The compressive and tensile strengths of cement cubes made using treated waste water were higher than those of cubes made with regular water . Following the cement tests, the concrete paste was applied to the moulds, which were subsequently tested after 7 days, 14 days, and 28 days of curing. The compressive strength test was calculated for the concrete cubes. The results revealed that the concrete constructed using treated sewage water had higher strength than regular water. So as per the results it can be concluded that the treated sewage water can be used for preparation of cement mortar and cement concrete.
