Much of thesludge present in the effluent treatment stations is destined for disposal in an inappropriate place or without the correct treatment, which can significantly affect the environment. Therefore, the current research aims to analyze the dry sludge of a refrigeration industry as a partial substitution of fine aggregate for non-structural concrete, making it necessary to choose features with a lower proportion of this in order not to extrapolate consumption costs. The specimens subsidized by NBR 5738 weremolded with partial addition of dry refrigerator sludge to replace fine aggregate, being 2%, 5% and 8%, respectively, and tested for axial compression in the Civil Engineering laboratory of UNOESTE. Through the results obtained, there was an increase in resistance compared to the standard trace in the specimens with less addition of sludge, however the solid residue retains a large amount of water, making it necessary to choose a trace with a lower proportion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
