Abstract

With a rapid growth in the construction industry, there is an increased demand for concrete for various uses. For concrete mixing and curing potable water is one of the most important ingredients. With increased population and agriculture sector and decreased average annual rainfall, the supply of fresh potable water to the construction industry is on the decline. In many drought-affected areas, water is scarce for even human needs. This may hamper the supply of fresh water to the construction industry. There is dire need to find the alternatives to fresh potable water to sustain the noteworthy growing rate of the construction industry. This paper investigates the effects of industrial wastewater in silica fumed concrete on not only strengths but also on other aspects like abrasion resistance, acid, and alkaline resistance. As silica fume is freely available bi-product in ore production, we normally ground-fill it. Considering the hazards of mixing it with groundwater we decided to use it in concrete as a partial replacement of cement. Also while taking an environmental approach we have to take into consideration the natural environmental conditions for structural strength of concrete. So abrasion resistance and acidic, alkaline resistance was also determined. Overall results show that through the strength of this newly formulated concrete increases, it fails on certain parameters like acid resistance but it certainly has more positive impacts on the environment.
