STUDY ON EFFECT OF LATHE WASTE METAL FIBERS IN TITANIUM DIOXIDE ETP SLUDGE CONCRETE

Abstract

Concrete is the most important construction material, which is manufactured at site. Concrete required for
extensive construction activity can always be made available since all the ingredients of concrete are materials of geological
origin. The rapid increase in construction activities leads to scarcity to conventional construction materials such as cement,
fine aggregate and coarse aggregate. Researchers are being conducted for finding cheaper materials. In India, there are
many industries producing large amount of effluent treatment plant waste sludge which leads in problems of disposal. The
effective reuse of effluent treatment plant sludge of TiO2 pigment generated from Kerala Minerals and Metals Ltd ( KMML).
Reuse of ETP sludge in concrete is an effective option for the problem of ultimate disposal up to greater extent.Steel scraps
as a waste products used by innovative construction industry and also in transportation and highway industry. In addition to
get sustainable progress and environmental remuneration, lathe scrap as worn-recycle fibbers with concrete are likely to be
used. Compressive strength, flexural strength, impact strength, fatigue strength and split tensile strength were increased but
up to 0.5-2% scrap content. In this study the fine aggregate will be replaced by ETP sludge of Ti????2and lathe machine waste
steels fibers will be added by weight of cement with different percentage increasing structural properties. The various tests
such as compression, tensile, and flexural strength will be conducted and results will be compared with specimen without
replacement.
