Abstract

In the present work, two potential industrial waste materials, Fly Ash (FA) and Lime Sludge (LS) that are generated in bulk quantities from thermal power plants and water treatment plants respectively and poses environmental hazards were stabilized using Commercial Lime (CL) and Gypsum (G) in order to make them suitable for use in Civil Engineering construction applications. Different compositions of FA, LS, CL and G (39 combinations) were studied and tested for Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS), California Bearing Ratio (CBR) and Split Tensile Strength Test (STS). The quality of composite is judged based on these parameters and two composites (optimum mix 1, 95%FA+5%LS) and (optimum mix 2, 50%FA+50%LS) stabilized with 12%CL and 1%G have resulted well.
