Abstract
Polishing pond with gravel bed was constructed and planted with Canna generalis plants for treating the effluent from conventional domestic wastewater treatment plant. Raw sewage, treated effluent from S T P (Sewage Treatment Plant) and effluent from polishing pond were taken for analysis. Standard consistency, Early setting time and strength of cement, workability(in-terms of slump) and Compressive strength of concrete were determined using normal tap water, treated effluent and polished effluent. From analysis of effluents, it is seen that, characteristic values obtained for various parameters (for all wastewater types) are well within the acceptable limits as per water quality standards of BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) for construction practice. There is clear reduction in normal consistency and initial setting time values for treated effluent and polished effluent as compared to normal tap water. An increment of 29% in 3 day compressive strength of cement has been observed for combination of polished water casting-fresh water curing as compared to fresh water casting and curing. For 7 and 21 days of curing, treated water casting-fresh water curing combination gives an increment of 16% and 11% in compressive strength as compared to fresh water casting and curing respectively. For increase in w/c ratio’s lower slump values have been observed for treated water and polished water as compared to fresh water but except for w/c ratio of 0.6 for polished water. With 0.6 w/c ratio for polished water, little higher value of slump has been noticed when compared to fresh water. Though 7 days compressive strength of concrete for polished water casting-fresh water curing is 40% more than fresh water casting-fresh water curing, the 28 days strength for both of these cases are almost same. It is observed that for longer duration of curing of 90 days, all combinations are giving almost same compressive power of concrete. Samples casted with treated water, cured with fresh water shows slower development of strength at early ages, but for 90 days of curing shows higher strength than fresh water casting-fresh water curing.
