Abstract
The growth of concrete technology during the
last decade has been mainly based on finding a
suitable and eco-friendly substituent for cement.
This project is synonymous to the same perception of
finding an eco-friendly and feasible cementitious
material. The reason trend is to incorporate
industrial waste into concrete. Textile sludge is such
a kind of industrial waste which is currently
disposed by land filling that leads to ground water
pollution and poor productivity of soil. In this study
an attempt has been made to compare the
mechanical strength of concrete of M30 grade by
replacing cement by quartz powder and textile
sludge respectively. Specimen were cast by
replacing cement by quartz powder at 5,10 and 15
percentage by weight of cement and by textile sludge
5,10 and 15 percentage by weight of cement. An
effort is also taken to investigate the combined effect
of quartz powder and textile sludge on concrete by
replacing quartz powder and textile sludge in equal
proportion of 5, 10 and 15 percentage by weight of
cement. Strength parameters such as compressive
strength and split tensile strength were investigated.
It was observed that the quartz powder of 10 % by
weight of cement proved to be the optimum whereas
on addition of textile sludge a decreasing trend was
observed with 5% as the optimum.
