Abstract

The use of water treatment sludge in the production of concrete

The article presents the results of experimental studies exploring the possibility of applying the dewatered sludge water treatment as a component of concrete mixtures to address the issue of disposal. The study of the properties of concrete samples made with sediment content from 0 to 33 percents allow to state the fact of the deterioration of strength by increasing the volume of the dried sludge. If the sludge volume in the concrete is 11%, the strength is reduced by 33 ÷ 35 percents; the strength of the concrete is reduced by 57 ÷ 61 percents when the content of sludge in the solution of about 20 percents; the strength of the concrete is reduced by 75 ÷ 77 percents when the content of sludge in the solution of about 30 percents.

Keywords: Drainless technology, waterworks sludge, waste, concrete, utilization, concrete.
