Abstract
Due to climate change and increasing population demand of water is increasing. In coming days there will be less availability of water for construction industry. On the other hand a huge quantity of water has been released to the nearby stream after treatment from Sewage Treatment Plant by the Municipal Corporations. Reuse of waste water is very less. The waste water collected is mainly from domestic. After secondary or tertiary treatment the water is released. So it is possible to reuse the effluent water for construction (mainly for Concrete casting & curing. As per the literature survey, new combinations are created seven different possibilities to find which the best preferable combination to reuse the water is. This will leads to saving the portable water and also the water can be used for drinking purpose which is current need of the society. This will satisfy need of industry, society & environment. Main focus of this experimental investigation to search possibility to use effluent water for construction purpose individually or in combination mainly for Concrete casting & Curing.
Highlights
When treated effluent is used in concrete, of Grade M-30 & M35,it was observed that there is increase in compressive strength is 3.6 and 9% respectively(Ooi Soon Lee, Mohd Razman Salim, Mohammad Ismail, MD.Imtiaj Ali, January 2017) ]
For M-20 grade concrete the Compressive strength was observed as 49.20(using Treated Sewage water) and
The water samples from both the Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) were satisfying the criteria mentioned in IS Code as the values obtained for the 11 tests were in the limit
Summary
When treated effluent is used in concrete, of Grade M-30 & M35,it was observed that there is increase in compressive strength is 3.6 and 9% respectively(Ooi Soon Lee, Mohd Razman Salim, Mohammad Ismail, MD.Imtiaj Ali, January 2017) ]. For this study OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) is used which is purchased from the local market and Aditya Birla make (53grade). The test like 1.Initial setting time 2.Final Setting time[3].Soundness of cement was carried out on the cement. The results obtained are satisfying guidelines given by Indian Standard. Test on Course and Fine aggregate was carried out. Those test include, 1.Moisture content 2.Water Absorption 3.Specific Gravity 4.Fineness Modulus. The results obtained are within the permissible limits specified in the above IS
