Abstract

The term sustainability implies the prevention of natural resources from its extinction. The use of reusable materials in the place of natural resources has shown to be a better option for sustainable material usage. Many industries produce wastes of different origins. One of such waste material generated from the paper industry is the Hyposludge. These wastes were dumped in open landfills. This might cause environmental issues. This waste material could be positively used for concrete manufacturing as a replacement of cement as this material possesses pozzolanic properties similar to cement. This usage would increase the compressive strength but on the other hand remaining mechanical properties of the concrete get affected. This study involves an analysis of mechanical properties of M25 grade of concrete with cement partially replaced with hypo sludge and application of crimped steel fibers on different percentages. The test results show a decrease of compressive strength and on the other hand, increase flexural and tensile strength was observed.
