The effects of dry sludge from waste water treatment plant on the compressive strength of concrete / Caroline Marajan and Mohd Yustafari Yun

One of the objectives of this study was to evaluate an option for waste minimization for the growing production of sludge from waste water treatment plants. Dry sewage sludge was investigated for it's potentials by adding this waste product to concrete with Portland cement. This study focused o...
