Feasibility Study on Paver Blocks blended with Textile Effluent Sludge and M-Sand

Abstract

Abstract Textile sludge (TS) management is a huge problem for its disposal from the textile industry. It has tremendous applications, such as walking paths, street road, and fuel stations, etc. In this manner, an innovative step has been towards the manufacture of paver blocks blended with textile effluent treatment plant (TETP) sludge to use of it in reasonable extends. A different percentage of sludge starts from 10%, 15%, 20%, 25% and 30% to be taken for this study for the effective utilization of sludge to the construction industry. This thinks about looked for to experience the potential use of TS as a binding fabric for paving blocks generation. Conventional paver block is cast with full replacement of sand by using M-sand as fine aggregate. Paver blocks consist of TS in addition to distinctive proportions was casted according to the recommendation of Indian Standards (IS) 15658 (2006), also the various results was obtained through experimentally and it was compared to the conventional paver block. The different mix combinations outcome reveals that, 30% of cement replacement by effective utilization of TS from the textile industry.
