Abstract

This paper presents the experimental study of partial replacement of fine aggregate by hypo sludge (From paper industry) in cement mortar. Nowadays construction cost and Industrial waste are increasing rapidly. In this context we must reuse the waste for reduce the cost of construction. So, this study deals with the effectiveness of partial replacing by hypo sludge in place of sand to reduce the construction cost. In this study four types of replacement instead of fine aggregate by hypo sludge by 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% in cement mortar. Initially we noticed that the strength is decreased while increasing the replacement percentage of sludge. So resolve this issue we selected GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) which is waste product from steel industry for better performance of cement mortar. Add GGBS in constant proportion of 10% in all replacement ratios. The Final results are interpreted based on conventional mortar strength.
