Abstract:One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was applied in this investigation to study the feasibility of modifying ordinary portland cement through Water treatment plant sludge (WTSP) addition. Cement pastes were obtained from mixtures of water treatment plant sludge (WTPS), calcined sludge and ordinary portland cement (OPC) using the standard water consistency. The variation in bulk density, apparent porosity, chemically combined water and compressive strength of the prepared samples were determined over time. In m… Show more
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.
