Mechanical Characteristics of Cement Mortar Manufactured with WPS Ash and PF as Partial Replacement for Cement and Sand

The Waste discharged from paper mill is generally producing environmental issues, like, air and land pollution and land pollution. Therefore, it is planned to utilize the paper sludge in the form of ash after burning at high temperature in the incinerator for the replacement of cement and sand in cement mortar. In this research works, it is suggested to investigate mechanical characteristic of the cement mortar containing paper sludge. On the basis of the results obtained by conducting several tests, it is concluded that when the sand and cement replaced by the PS, the cube compressive strength, prism flexural strength and splitting tensile strength of cement mortar is gradually decreasing by increasing the percentage of waste paper sludge ash. It is also observed that, it is increasing when the cement mortar is incorporated with Polypropylene Fibre. R.
