Paper production industries produce a large amount of solid waste. Many companies burn their sludge in incinerators
which leads towards air pollution. This research is aim to evaluate the addition of waste paper to concrete cubes cylinders
and beams , to study the effect of waste paper on the strength of concrete, and we also worked on testing of waste paper
sludge to find out the amount of chemical compounds are present which is co-related to cement.
In present study work we are going to replacing cement with waste paper sludge at 7%, and 10% respectively. Therefore
we have visited Ashapura paper mill at nanireldi near kukma,Bhuj, kutchh to collect sludge disposal and use it with cement in
percentage of partial replacement. Material was in dry form when we collect it from paper mill after that we did grinding and
convert it into powder form to make it use easily with cement. That powder material passed through 2.36 mm I.S sieve.
We have casted total 27 cubes, 54 cylinders, and 9 beam in which we have included normal cubes, cylinders, and beams
and waste paper sludge cubes, cylinders, and beams which is partial replaced with cement. This experimental investigation is
carry out on different cubes, cylinders, and beams (such as normal cubes, cylinders, and beams and WPS replaced cubes,
cylinders, and beams) which have standard size of cube 15cm x 15cm x 15cm, cylinder 15cm dia. x 30cm, beam 70cm x 15cm
x 15cm and compare the results to check compressive strength, Split tensile strength and flexural strength test after 7 days, 14
days & 28 days of curing respectively.
