Abstract

The purpose of this study is to dispose the sludge and it partially reduce the need of fine aggregate. In this project concrete was tested with w/c ratio of 0.50Fine aggregate are partially replaced using sludge with different percentage such as 10%, 15% and 20%.Chemical composition was found using SEM and EDX. The mechanical properties such as compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength were tested for 7, 14 and 28 days. This experimentation holds good strength till 15% of replacement with sludge in fine aggregate. The strengths decreased when the replacement of sludge is above 15%.
