Utilization of Waste Sole Leather with Fly Ash for Self-Compacting Concrete

Abstract

The majority of solid waste from leather industries comes from various processes after manufacturing leather products, and it has been gathered separately from industries. Sole leathers were also emitted in the leather industry. After used, sole leather is thrown at dump yard and the dumping of sole leather on the ground is highly damaging to the environment’s health, and the recycling procedure is approximately expensive, therefore this research examines the creation of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) mix using Fly Ash and Sole Leathers. This article examines that utilization of waste sole leather including F.A. (Fly Ash) and superplasticizer (S.P.) in self-compacting concrete (SCC) mixtures. fly Ash & sole leather is a novel research concept with high deformability and moderate viscosity, which is required to provide consistent solid particle dispersion during shipping, installation, and until the concrete sets. As per obtained the findings of the current research, the addition with sole leather and fly ash in conjunction with a superplasticizer appears to improve the fresh, hardened characteristics developed strength & proper durability qualities in SCC. The maximum compressive strength was obtained for SCC5%F.A.+5%S.L. i.e., 41.10 MPa as compare to other mix proportions i.e. SCC10%F.A.+7.5%S.L. (39.95 MPa) & SCC15%F.A.+10%S.L. (36.70 MPa).
